An intimate portrait of a small English woodland over the course of a single year, this beautifully observed chronicle captures the rhythms and wonders of sylvan life through the changing seasons. From the first snowdrops of spring to the russet leaves of autumn, every detail of the wood's hidden world is revealed with poetic precision and deep ecological knowledge.
Part nature diary, part meditation on our relationship with the natural world, this work celebrates the magic found in observing one familiar patch of countryside throughout the year. Rich with wildlife encounters and traditional woodland lore, it makes a compelling case for the restorative power of connecting with nature on one's doorstep, reminding readers that extraordinary beauty exists in even the most ordinary corners of the British countryside.
