Allen Grants presents a vivid and delightful description of upland heather moorland in England through Moorland Idylls. He was a Canadian science writer and novelist educated in England, who primarily wrote about scientific subjects. Excerpt from the work "We sat late on the verandah last night, listening to the low trilling croon of the night-jar. It was a balmy evening, one of the few this summer; the sunset was lingering over the heather-clad moors, and the lonely bird sat perched on one bough of the wind-swept pine-tree by Martin's Corner, calling pathetically to his mate with that deep passionate cry of his. I know not why, but the voice of the night-jar seems to me fuller of unspoken poetry than that of any more musical and articulate songster."
