What exactly is a "greenwood tree"? what species is that? Or what does it mean?--Sonjaaa 20:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of this text it says that the novel depicts life in a rural village in the eighteenth century. The eighteenth century covers the years 1700-1799. So - doesn´t it have to be the middle of the nineteenth century then, which would be 1850?? 217.87.13.42 (talk) 18:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC) - There, changed it myself. 217.87.4.120 (talk) 21:36, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason...[edit]

Charles Schulz gave this book a shout-out in 1991 in "Peanuts": http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1991/08/19 A²Kafir (and...?) 22:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tranter[edit]

What is a "tranter"? The article kind of makes it sound like it's an office of the church, but wikitionary says it's a peddler. Is he a peddler who's ALSO a member of the choir, or is something missing here? AnnaGoFast (talk) 04:05, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hardy defines "tranter" as an "irregular carrier". Merriam-Webster says it's "dialectal, England. : one that does odd jobs of transporting or peddling usually with a horse and cart." The choir is composed of volunteers that have day jobs (Mr. Penny is a shoemaker, for example.), or, considering mentions of their advanced age, possibly retired.
