John Wyatt first encountered the Lake District during a boyhood
camping trip to Windermere. He was overwhelmed by the freedom of
the landscape and the closeness to nature he felt. It was as if he
belonged here, amongst the fells, the crags and the endless
horizon. This call to the wild stayed with him, becoming so
powerful that one day he did what many only dream of: he left a
steady job and his town life to become a forestry worker in a
Lakeland wood at Cartmel Fell. This is one of the finest books ever
written on the Lake District. Like Thoreau, John Wyatt embraced the
simplicity of living alone in a woodland hut, immersing himself in
a life made rich by birdsong, foraging for food the smell of
woodsmoke, and the extraordinary companionship of Buck, a young roe
deer discovered in the woods.
