The Moorland Cottage

Zusatztext

The Moorland Cottage by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is about a widow and her children, and their secluded life in a cottage. Excerpt: "If you take the turn to the left after you pass the lyke-gate at Combehurst Church, you will come to the wooden bridge over the brook; keep along the field path which mounts higher and higher, and, in half a mile or so, you will be in a breezy upland field, almost large enough to be called a down, where sheep pasture on the short, fine, elastic turf. You look down on Combehurst and its beautiful church spire."
