Librivox recording of Gone To Earth by Mary Webb.
Read by Rachel Lintern.
“Gone to Earth” is the cry of fox hunters as the fox takes to its den and they lose the chase. Here, Mary Webb tells the story of Hazel Woodus whose understanding of her half tame fox cub contrasts with her misunderstanding of humanity. She is pursued by two very different men, a Gentleman Farmer and the local Minister. Mary Webb’s writing is sometimes compared to that of Thomas Hardy, her descriptions of nature are vivid and her view of love and life is touched with tragedy. She wrote this book in 1917 and it is set in the borderlands of rural Shropshire. (Summary by Rachel Lintern)

Subject: Beautiful, sensitive reading of a Hardy-esque novel
Lovers of Thomas Hardy will be delighted to discover Mary Webb, although in the Hardy mode we should expect no happy ending. The presentation is especially enhanced by the reader's soft West Country accent--Webb was (I think) from Shropshire. Thank you Rachel. Please favour us with more recordings in the future.
