Meanwhile, young Dick Dewy falls in love with the schoolmistress Fancy Day, whose beauty and aspirations attract other attention and complicate the possibility of a simple courtship. Thomas Hardy brings affection and humor to a rural world where changes in custom sit alongside the hopes and hesitations of individuals. Under the Greenwood Tree connects music, seasonal rhythms, and village relationships in a story about love and the passing of an older way of life. This edition, edited by Adrian Alington, presents Hardy’s early novel in The Scholar’s Library series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67703915970772,"sku":"TVJ-034424","price":28.75,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-034424-1.jpg?v=1791873356","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-034424","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
