Fern's Hollow
eBook
(Prabhat Prakashan March 9, 2018)
Just upon the border of Wales; but within one of the English counties; there is a cluster of hills; rising one above the other in gradual slopes; until the summits form a long; broad tableland; many miles across. This tableland is not so flat that all of it can be seen at once; but here and there are little dells; shaped like deep basins; which the country folk call hollows; and every now and then there is a rock or hillock covered with yellow gorse bushes; from the top of which can be seen the wide; outspread plains; where hundreds of sheep and ponies are feeding; which belong to the farmers and cottagers dwelling in the valley below. Besides the chief valley; which divides the mountains into two groups; and which is broad enough for a village to be built in; there are long; narrow glens; stretching up into the very heart of the tableland; and draining away the waters which gather there by the melting of snow in the winter and the rain of thunderstorms in summer.
