A review by wychwoodnz
Our Village by Mary Russell Mitford

4.0

This is an assortment of essays about life in a village in Hampshire in the 1800s. Around half are descriptive passages of nature encountered on walks, with the remainder covering individuals and events in the village.

Note that this was originally published in 5 volumes and the various reprints may have slightly different lineups of individual essays. I have two different editions of volume 1, and one (Third Edition published by Geo. B Whittaker in London 1825, obtained via Google Books) has at least twice as many essays as the other (published by Macmillan & Co in 1893, obtained via Project Gutenberg).
