The Book Of Months (1903) - Edward Frederic Benson - Bog

The Book of Months is a collection of twelve short stories, each one representing a different month of the year. Written by Edward Frederic Benson and first published in 1903, the stories are set in rural England and follow the lives of various characters as they navigate the changing seasons and the challenges and joys that come with them. In January, we meet a young couple struggling to make ends meet in the harsh winter weather. February sees a group of friends gathering for a Valentine's Day celebration, while March follows a farmer as he prepares his land for planting. April brings the arrival of a traveling circus, and May sees a young woman struggling with the expectations of her family and society. June is a month of love and weddings, while July brings a heatwave and the challenges of drought. August sees a group of friends embarking on a boating trip, while September follows a young man as he begins his studies at university. October brings the harvest and the joys of autumn, while November is a time of remembrance and reflection. Finally, December brings the festive season, with all its traditions and celebrations. Through these twelve stories, Benson captures the essence of each month and the unique experiences and emotions that come with it. The Book of Months is a charming and evocative collection that will transport readers to a simpler time and place.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
