Under the Greenwood Tree
Thomas Hardy Tim Dolin (Redaktør) Patricia Ingham (Forord) Tim Dolin (Introduksjon) Tim Dolin (Innledning)
The arrival of two newcomers in the quiet village of Mellstock arouses a bitter feud and leaves a convoluted love affair in its wake. While the Reverend Maybold creates a furore among the village's musicians with his decision to abolish the church's traditional 'string choir' and replace it with a modern mechanical organ, the new schoolteacher, Fancy Day, causes an upheaval of a more romantic nature, winning the hearts of three very different men - a local farmer, a church musician and Maybold himself.
