Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Illustrated Edition. 1stUSedn; Small quarto [10 inches high by 7-5/8 inches wide], dark green cloth with titles and a vignette in gilt on the front cover. The binding is bumped & rubbed and the backstrip is MISSING. Ow all the contents is present and in good shape: FAIR/ndj: ix, [iii] & 121 pages. 20 black/white photographic illustrations by Will F. Taylor tipped onto gray stock. The place was West Sussex, the Adur Valley, and Michael Fairless turned out to be a woman- Margaret Fairless Barber (7 May 1869 - 24 August 1901), pseudonym Michael Fairless, who was an English Christian writer whose book of meditations, 'The Roadmender' (1902) became a popular classicDescription of the Sussex countryside North of Shoreham & GoringbySea. I have attained my ideal: I am a roadmender, some say stonebreaker. Both titles are correct, but the one is more pregnant than the other. All day I sit by the roadside on a stretch of grass under a high hedge of saplings and a tangle of traveller's joy, woodbine, sweetbrier, and late roses. Opposite me is a white gate, seldom used, if one may judge from the trail of honeysuckle growing tranquilly along it: I know now that whenever and wherever I die my soul will pass out through this white gate; and then, thank God, I shall not have need to undo that trail. // The Roadmender, a devotional country book, was very much to early Edwardian taste, clearly touched a melancholy nerve and achieved popular classic status. When the book was published there was a great mystery surrounding who Michael Fairless was, and what locale did he describe with such love? cf Bellerive, Georges(1915) Eloges de l'agriculture dignite et bonheur de la vie rurale.
