'Evocatively written and charming' - Countryfile 'The January Man
is a book that makes you want to pull on your boots, grab a map and
get out there' - Country Life The January Man is the story of a
year of walks that was inspired by a song, Dave Goulder's 'The
January Man'. Month by month, season by season and region by
region, Christopher Somerville walks the British Isles, following
routes that continually bring his father to mind. As he travels the
country - from the winter floodlands of the River Severn to the
lambing pastures of Nidderdale, the towering seabird cliffs on the
Shetland Isle of Foula in June and the ancient oaks of Sherwood
Forest in autumn - he describes the history, wildlife, landscapes
and people he encounters, down back lanes and old paths, in rain
and fair weather. This exquisitely written account of the British
countryside not only inspires us to don our boots and explore the
140,000 miles of footpaths across the British Isles, but also
illustrates how, on long-distance walks, we can come to an
understanding of ourselves and our fellow walkers. Over the hills
and along the byways, Christopher Somerville examines what moulded
the men of his father's generation - so reticent about their
wartime experiences, so self-effacing, upright and dutiful - as he
searches for 'the man inside the man' that his own father really
was.
