Description
Walter J. C. Murray lived in a derelict cottage on a hill in Sussex, with no running water or electricity. He transformed it into a home by bringing in furniture and befriending the local wildlife. In 1920s Sussex, Murray made a living from collecting and selling herbs he found locally, including agrimony, meadow-sweet, and yarrow. This experience allowed him to become alert to the natural world around him. Murray's life was marked by hard work and a deep connection with nature, which is reflected in his writing.
