Bevis's Zodiac tile



 'Bevis, the story of a boy' is a book written by Richard Jefferies in 1882.  In Chapter 35, 'Bevis's Zodiac', Jefferies describes how Bevis looked at the clear sky one night when he was camping on an island and saw these stars.  " The stars shone brighter than it is usually thought they do when there is no moon; but in fact it is not so much the moon as the state of the atmosphere.  There was no haze in the dry air, and he could see the Pole Star distinctly"  I was always inspired by Richard Jefferies writing and it was because of this that we named our son Bevis, for whom the tile was made.
