Description

"A sublime journey into the heart of the British countryside, guided by one of the masters of nature writing who notices the sublime and explains the hidden. Last November, the sudden appearance of 100 wintering ravens in a wood in Cranborne Chase, where I have lived for 25 years without seeing more than a few solitary specimens, reminded me that there is always something ready to flame up again in the landscape, just when it seemed the fire had gone out. Chris Yates, one of Britain's most insightful and lyrical writers, raises his gaze from his beloved rivers and ponds and takes you on a mesmerizing tour of the British countryside. Using his knowledge and unique perception of the natural world he sees every rustle of a leaf, or call of a bird to take you on a magical journey into the very heart of the natural world around us"-- Publisher.
