Frank Boreham was a master of storytelling, his love of nature and experiences of life providing an array of topics, published in collections such as this.

Frank Boreham was a master of storytelling, his love of nature and experiences of life providing an array of topics, published in collections such as this. Blessed with a gift for drawing all manner of interesting reflections from everyday things, Boreham builds stories out of slippers, holly trees, a visit to the doctor's, the scent of perfume, and the verdant fields near a village. Peppering his passages with wisdom and folksy observations plus snatches of poetic verse, the sum of the author's efforts are heartwarming anecdotes and musings of lasting appeal. Popular for decades in the early 20th century, Boreham retains a devoted audience to this day, his love of life and nature an eternal draw. The author worked as a pastor in England and Australia; the contrasting cultures and landscapes, and the journeys he took betwixt and between, were fertile ground for inspiration. His clergyman trade provided yet more sustenance for writing; in order to do his job well, Boreham had to cultivate wisdom to properly serve and assure members of his church community - humane qualities which are displayed in so many of his books.
