"Hodge and His Masters"
Richard Jefferies
Here we have tens of thousands of very young men, boys in mind, the best fed, healthiest, happiest crowd of boys in all the land, living in a pure bracing atmosphere, far removed from towns, and their amusements and temptations, all mad for pleasure and excitement of some kind to fill their vacant hours each day and their holidays.
"Afoot in England"
W.H. Hudson

"Paddy Finn"
W. H. G. Kingston
