John Lewis-Stempel is a farmer and 'Britain's finest living nature writer' (The Times). His books include the Sunday Times bestsellers Woodston, The Running Hare and The Wood. He is the only person to have won the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing twice, with Meadowland and Where Poppies Blow. In 2016 he was named Magazine Columnist of the Year for his column in Country Life. He farms cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Traditionally.
This is a small book, yet it conveys memorably the magnitude and
majesty of its subject - a charming blend of nature diary, sound
archive and scent library. It can even be seen as a kind of
dictionary in which, like Byron's nightwandering Manfred, we can
learn 'the language of another world'.
