THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR
NON-FICTION 2021 SHORTLISTED FOR THE INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR
NON-FICTION 2022 'Brilliant, passionate and political . . . The
Book of Trespass will make you see landscapes differently' Robert
Macfarlane 'A remarkable and truly radical work, loaded with
resonant truths' George Monbiot The vast majority of our country is
entirely unknown to us because we are banned from setting foot on
it. By law of trespass, we are excluded from 92 per cent of the
land and 97 per cent of its waterways, blocked by walls whose
legitimacy is rarely questioned. But behind them lies a story of
enclosure, exploitation and dispossession of public rights whose
effects last to this day. The Book of Trespass takes us on a
journey over the walls of England, into the thousands of square
miles of rivers, woodland, lakes and meadows that are blocked from
public access. By trespassing the land of the media magnates,
Lords, politicians and private corporations that own England, Nick
Hayes argues that the root of social inequality is the uneven
distribution of land. Weaving together the stories of poachers,
vagabonds, gypsies, witches, hippies, ravers, ramblers, migrants
and protestors, and charting acts of civil disobedience that
challenge orthodox power at its heart, The Book of Trespass will
transform the way you see the land. --------------- A GUARDIAN, i
AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR
