People in Books: 2: Bevis
by Richard Jefferies.
Olive Shapley introduces famous books and people who appear in them.
Richard Jefferies was born just over a hundred years ago near Swindon, in Wiltshire. At the age of fifteen he ran away from school because he decided he wanted to see Russia and America. He did not reach either of these countries, however, and he decided he had better become a journalist instead. He started work on the local paper and soon found that he was particularly good at writing about farming and life in the country. He made his name with such books as Wild Life in a Southern County, The Story of My Heart, and Bevis.
