Bevis The Story of a Boy was written by Richard Jefferies in 1882. The book explores the environment of Coate Farm (now the
Richard Jefferies Museum) where Jefferies was born and the wider landscape of
Coate Water. Bevis has many adventures around the man-made lake of Coate Water:
he makes a raft, imagines savages, learns to swim, meets a witch, falls in the
quarry, and gets shipwrecked on an island.
