Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. Not just autumn, but the depiction of the countryside I still remember fondly many years later.

That chapter where you compared the fight between the black ants and red ants with the Trojans and the Greek was amazing. Written in an epic style, he really brought back old memories of my childhood when I would watch bugs in my backyard battle one another.
