But I could love Selborne if I had nerer loved White's writings; and to me every bit of England (save factory towns) is historie. There are lovely i woodlands between Farnham and Gedalining, especially near a typical village called Elstead. I recall the olema stillness of the aisles in a forest of pines, for instance. Once well ageing again, I passed through Shire and Shallord and Chilworth and Abinger Hammer.
