Hawker's most famous work comprises this collection of prose sketches, written originally for a variety of periodicals. First published in book form in 1870, they were re-issued in 1893 together with two previously unpublished essays 'Humphrey Vivian' and 'Old Trevarten' as 'The Prose Works of Rev. R.S. Hawker'. Hawker's close friend J.G. Godwin who added the bibliographical footnotes edited the reissue. The present edition enhances the work still further through the editorship of Byles, the charming illustrations by Pethybridge and plates and portraits from a variety of other sources (including Baring-Gould).
