Produced by Malcolm Farmer, Emmy and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Amaryllis at the Fair" by Richard Jefferies is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to the character Amaryllis, a young girl who finds delight in nature and her rural surroundings. The narrative explores themes of human life, family dynamics, and the contrast between rural charm and the responsibilities of adulthood, set against the backdrop of a fair that signifies social interactions and observations. At the start of the story, we meet Amaryllis as she discovers the first daffodil of spring and rushes to show her father, Iden, a hardworking farmer with a rough exterior. Their relationship is characterized by a mix of affection and misunderstanding, as Amaryllis yearns for her father's attention and appreciation for the beauty of nature, which he dismisses as trifling compared to work. The opening chapters provide rich descriptions of the rural setting, the characters' interactions, and Iden’s fixation on practicality, contrasted by Amaryllis's youthful idealism. This establishes a vibrant and contemplative atmosphere as the reader is drawn into their world, foreshadowing the unfolding dynamics at the upcoming local fair.
