About the author
Born in 1865, Tickner Edwardes was an English writer, beekeeper, medical officer, and later a priest. He wrote across several kinds of nonfiction and fiction, but he is especially remembered for books shaped by his love of rural life and the natural world.
His best-known work includes writing on bees and beekeeping, notably The Lore of the Honey-Bee, as well as Lift-Luck on Southern Roads, an early and unusual account of hitchhiking published in 1910. During the First World War he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps, including work in Egypt, before later serving in the Church of England.
Edwardes died in 1944. Readers often come to him for his calm, observant voice: he had a gift for turning country scenes, practical knowledge, and everyday encounters into books that feel both informative and quietly personal.
