Under the Greenwood Tree; Or, The Mellstock Quire by Thomas Hardy
"Under the Greenwood Tree; Or, The Mellstock Quire" by Thomas Hardy is a novel published in 1872. Set in the fictional village of Mellstock, it follows young Dick Dewy, a member of the traditional parish choir, as he falls for the beautiful new schoolmistress, Fancy Day. When a new vicar threatens to replace the choir's string music with a modern organ, Dick must navigate both the changing times and romantic rivalry from
wealthier suitors competing for Fancy's affections in this charming portrait of rural English life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
