Under the Greenwood Tree (Illustrated Edition)

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Under the Greenwood Tree is a delightful portrayal of a picturesque rural society, tinged with gentle humor and quiet irony. There's also an unpredictable double-plot, in which the love story of Dick Dewey and Fancy Day is inter-related with a tragic chapter in the history of Mellstock Choir, that hints at the poignant disappearance of a long-lived and highly-valued traditional way of life.. * Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.. * This meticulous digital edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
