John Lewis-Stempel is the hottest nature writer around. * Spectator

A heartfelt and evocative diary of a year among the trees...it's
his observation of the natural world - the sight, the sound, the
smell of it - that is so memorable. He has a distinctively brisk,
muscular style of writing that has a poetic intensity and
concision. * Guardian *
Lyrical diary documenting a year in nature ... he's brilliant on
birds and their habits. -- Helen Brown * Daily Mail *
Another triumph. Natural, translucent, full of half-glimpsed
depths....just like a wood itself. -- Philip Marsden
