England – A Natural History
by John Lewis-Stempel
John Lewis-Stempel is a Herefordshire farmer, and highly respected nature writer who has farmed the same patch of land where his family have lived for over 700 years. His deep connection to that place and the web of life he shares it with were so beautifully evoked in his book ‘Meadowland’. The scope of this new publication is far greater and represents something of a culmination of all his years of nature writing. ‘England – A Natural History’ takes each distinctive habitat that make up the tapestry of England’s landscape: from estuary to park, chalk down land to woodland, river to field, village to moor, lake to heath, fen to coastal cliffs, in a book that is unquestionably his magnum opus. John Lewis-Stempel’s writing is a glorious mix of folklore, beautiful prose, with detailed wildlife observations and botanical fact.
