'Rewild Yourself turns the [nature writing] genre upside down.
Barnes tackles the issue of our disconnection with the wild from a
much more pragmatic angle. It is not the land that should be
rewilded, but us. This book has a spiritual, crusading quality. He
writes as an uncle would to his nieces or nephews, encouraging them
to enjoy his love of the outdoors... There is something here for
anyone who is captivated by nature and wants to get closer...
Essentially Rewild Yourself is about learning to be part of nature.
This is such a simple, clever book.'
