In 1781, Gilbert White was a country curate, living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life.

Fascinated by the fauna, flora and people around him, he kept journals for many years, and, at that time, was halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne.

Jenny Uglow accompanies Gilbert from frost to drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest. Fresh, alive and original, A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.
