Enjoy a whole year of the very finest nature writing, with one
carefully selected piece to savour every day. This beautifully
illustrated daily anthology brings you the very best of nature
writing from around the world and through the centuries, from Pliny
the Elder’s Natural History to modern authors such as Helen
Macdonald and Robert Macfarlane. Encompassing fact and fiction,
essays and field guides, letters and diaries, it’s a rich banquet
of prose, the perfect companion to help your mind escape into the
world of nature every day. It contains descriptions of nature in
all its guises: Virginia Woolf on snails, Kenneth Grahame on the
charms of a riverbank, Willa Cather on the rolling American
prairies, and, via L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables on
Octobers. David Attenborough pops up to talk about our
responsibility to the natural environment, Edith Holden provides
evocative descriptions from The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady,
and Henry David Thoreau, of course, sends dispatches from Walden
Pond. We meet Rudyard Kipling’s jungle animals and Jack
London’s wild dogs, and Mark Twain explains why a camel is not
jumpable. Keep this wonderful celebration of nature by your bedside
and it will become the perfect start or close to each day of the
year.
