Thomas Hardy's great love and understanding of the countryside in all its moods is amply evident in this delightful tale, which he called A Rural Painting of the Dutch Schooll
The romance of Dick Dewy and Fancy Day, which follows its course through the four seasons of one Wessex vear, is counterpointed by the story of the rustic characters of Melistock church choir their carol-singing expedition, their struggles against the introduction of a new fangled organ, their solemn deputation to the Vicar, and their contribution to the garety of all social occasions from tranter Dewy's Christmas party to his son's wedding day.
Under the Greenwood Tree is an authentic picture, painted in loving detail, of an England that has long since vanished, and It is undoubtedly the gentlest and most picturesque atid pleasing of Hardy's stories.
