In Vesper Flights Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best-loved writing along with new pieces.
There are essays on catching swans, on hunting mushrooms, on twentieth-century spies, on numinous experiences and high-rise buildings; on nests and wild pigs and the tribulations of farming ostriches. Moving and frank, personal and political, this collection confirms Helen Macdonald as one of the great nature writers.
