It is difficult to think of a more quintessential symbol of the
British countryside than the British Hedgerow, bursting with
blackberries, hazelnuts and sloes, and home to oak and ash, field
mice and butterflies. But as much as we might dream about foraging
for mushrooms or collecting wayside nettles for soup, most of us
are unaware of quite how profoundly hedgerows have shaped the
history of our landscape and our fellow species. One of Britain's
best known naturalists, John Wright introduces us to the natural
and cultural history of hedges (as well as ditches, dykes and dry
stone walls) - from the arrival of the first settlers in the
British Isles to the modern day, when we have finally begun to
recognise the importance of these unique ecosystems. His intimate
knowledge of the countryside and its inhabitants brings this guide
to life, whether discussing the skills and craft of hedge
maintenance or the rich variety of animals, plants, algae and fungi
who call them home. Informative, practical, entertaining and richly
illustrated in colour throughout, A Natural History of the Hedgerow
is a book to stuff into your pocket for country walks in every
season, or to savour in winter before a roaring fire.
