Gone to Earth
Penguin Main Series 9. 1st Edition, published 1935.
The daughter of a Welsh gypsy and a crazy bee-keeper, Hazel Woodus is happiest living in her forest cottage in the remote Shropshire hills, at one with the winds and seasons, protector and friend of the wild animals she loves. But Hazel's beauty and innocence prove irresistible to the men in her orbit. Both Jack Reddin, the local squire and Edward Marston, the gentle minister, offer her human love. Hazel's fate unfolds as simply and relentlessly as a Greek tragedy, as a child of nature is drawn into a world of mortal passion in which she must eternally be a stranger.
Condition grading: Very Good Book in Fair Dust Jacket. Dust jacket has ragged top edge in places. Book has light crease to top left and top right corner of front cover. Book has some bumping to top of spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
