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. In late 1877 he moved to Surbiton to be nearer the hub of literary England. His new surroundings defined him, as a country writer.
