    Product description

    Synopsis
    Hardy's delightful pastoral novel--subtitled "A Rural Painting of the Dutch School"--is about the efforts of the members of a choir in a rural church to keep change and modern ways from encroaching on what they hold dear. It is also the story of the romance between Dick Dewy and the schoolteacher Fancy Day. Reportedly Hardy's favorite among his novels, UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE is vividly set in his fictional Wessex (Dorsetshire). The story ambles through the seasons, and the activities of rural life--harvesting honey, apple-picking, and cider-making--are an integral part of the texture of the tale.
