LARK ASCENDING (PB)

On a journey that takes us from post-war poets and artists to the free party scene embraced by the acid house and travelling communities, this book explores how Britain's history and identity have been shaped by the mysterious relationship between music and nature. From the far west of Wales to the Thames Estuary and the Suffolk shoreline, taking in Brian Eno, Kate Bush, Boards of Canada and Dylan Thomas, it listens to the land and the music that emerged from it, to chart a new and surprising course through a familiar landscape.
