From beachcombing to stargazing, from watching squirrels, ducks and worms to mak
ing berry crumble or a winter bird feast, this is a remarkable book - part poetr
y, part scrapbook of recipes, facts and fragments - and a glorious reminder that
the natural world is on our doorstep waiting to be discovered. Mark Hearld's pi
ctures beautifully reproduce the colours of the seasons on woodfree paper, and N
icola Davies' lyrical words capture the simple loveliness that is everywhere, if
only we can look.
