Heather is the second novel of the so-called "Dartmoor Trilogy" by John Trevena (the pseudonym of Ernest George Henham). Originally published in 1908, Heather captures the rural atmosphere of the West Country of England at the end of the nineteenth century in vivid detail. It centers around the lives of reclusive, gentleman artist, George Brunacombe, and a young girl, Winnie Shazell, who has a secret past. They naturally connect to the moor for their strength and endurance through life's tragedies. Other charming characters interact with them in a story that delves into many themes. This edition of Heather includes detailed annotations of the many Biblical, mythological and geographical references in the novel so that the reader may better appreciate the craft with which Trevena weaves his tale.
