"The Lore of the Wanderer. Edited By G. Goodchild.…
It loos really interesting and it's a very short book. But unfortunately, I have to downsize my library right now and this is one of the casualties. I've only skimmed it but actually loved the descriptive essays celebrating the outdoors...albeit of a very British nature....green hills and wood hyacinths. Three stars from me.

Jack O'Lantern by George Goodchild
Mediocre and somewhat improbable mystery. A number of figures associated with the trial of a dynamic criminal, later hanged, are found dead. The judge in the case is under threat. Scotland Yard is baffled. There's a mysterious (and heroic!) German criminologist involved; also a mysterious Hindu servant. The solution to the crimes is not very satisfactory, and the case creaks along dreadfully. Only for completists.

Jack o' Lantern by George Goodchild
It's a British thriller from 1929, and has a preposterous plot, stilted dialogue, and melodrama. Fun, forgettable reading.

This a collection of essays on the subject of the natural world and enjoyment of it by Robert Louis Stevenson, William Haslitt, John Ruskin, Francis Bacon, John Addington Symonds, Edward Thomas, Walter Raymond, Richard Jefferies, Mary Russell Mitford, Henry David Thoreau and Alan Sullivan. Short poems on the subject are printed between each essayist's offering by such luminaries as Wordsworth, Browning and Yeats. My favorite pieces were those by Raymond and Sullivan. I found Stevenson and Thoreau tiresome. But that's just me.… (more)
