'Britain's greatest living nature writer' (The Times) describes how he conquered clinical depression through his re-awakened love of nature.

About the Author

Richard Mabey is the father of modern nature writing in the UK. Since 1972 he has written some forty influential books, including the prize-winning Nature Cure, Gilbert White- a Biography, and Flora Britannica.

He spent the first half of his life amongst the Chiltern beechwoods, and now lives in Norfolk in a house surrounded by ash trees.

Reviews

A brilliant, candid and heartfelt memoir...The account of how he broke free of depression, reshaped his life and reconnected with the wild becomes nothing short of a manifesto for living...Mabey's particular vision, informed by a lifetime's reading and observation, is ultimately optimistic. It is also what makes his voice so appealing amid all the froth and flam of the eco-debate
*Sunday Times*

A book of which only he could have written a single page...marvellously observed, deeply felt from sentence to sentence. The writing is exquisite
*Evening Standard*

Subtle, devotional, poetic
*Observer*

Rich, invigorating and deeply restorative
*Irish Times*

Nature Cure moves between the nervous breakdown of an individual and the madness of the modern world with a prescience akin to that of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land
*Guardian*

Mabey is a radical, inheritor of an old English tradition...The core of the book is his exploration of his new landscape. It feels a privilege to share it, watching him unpick the layers of watery Norfolk, with dazzling skill and the warmest of hearts, as his troubled mind heals
*Independent*

Written in the radiant, tingle-making prose that has earned Mabey literary prizes and a multitude of fans... both a wake-up call and an example of how the love of nature can electrify and heal the imagination.
*Daily Mail*

An inspiring book
*Sunday Telegraph*

Britain's greatest living nature writer
*The Times*
