Summary "Moorland Idylls" by Grant Allen is a collection of nature essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores the beautiful and often overlooked aspects of rural life, particularly focusing on the flora and fauna of moorland settings. Through vivid descriptions, Allen encourages readers to appreciate the intricate relationships between animals, plants, and their environment. At the start of the collection, the reader is immersed in the serene atmosphere of a moorland evening, where the narrator reflects on the haunting call of a night-jar. This scene sets a poetic tone as Allen begins to delve into the characteristics and behaviors of this elusive bird. He draws attention to the natural world, remarking on the adaptations of different species to both seasonal changes and human encroachment. Through his observations, Allen conveys a sense of wonder and reverence for nature, hinting at broader themes of coexistence and the poetry found in the mundane aspects of rural existence.
