England’s landscape is iconic – a tapestry of distinctive habitats that together make up a country unique for its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
Concentrating on twelve habitats, John Lewis-Stempel leads us from estuary to park, chalk downland to woodland, river to field, village to moor, lake to heath, fen to coastal cliffs. Referencing beloved great writers in whose footsteps he treads – Gilbert White, John Clare, W. H. Hudson, Richard Jefferies, Edward Thomas – and combining beautiful prose with detailed wildlife observation, botanical fact and ancient folklore, Lewis-Stempel immerses himself in each place, discovering their singular atmosphere, the play of the seasons, the feel of the wind in midwinter and the sounds of daybreak.
