John Richard Jefferies was an English nature writer, essayist, and journalist. He wrote fiction mainly based on farming and rural life. From early in life he showed a great love of the countryside but was temperamentally unsuited to follow his father as a farmer, and in 1866 he found employment as a newspaper reporter for the North Wiltshire Herald and the Swindon Advertiser.
