This lovely book is almost as thrilling as the bird's immortal song
- balm for a troubled soul and a glimpse of paradise
*Joanna Lumley*
Wondering and wonderful. The nature book of the year.
A wonderful book.
*Stephen Moss*
A magical marriage of the lyrical and practical: a book that makes
us want to seek out the nightingale and then reveals how we
can.
*Tristan Gooley*
A beautiful, lyrical, heartfelt book ... Certainly my appreciation
of however many nightingalers are left to me will be for ever
heightened by the time I've spent with this generous, sensitive
book about our most glorious songbird
*Observer*
