ENGLAND: A NATURAL HISTORY (PB)

Now in paperback, with map and illustrations, this is the definitive volume on the English landscape and the capstone of John Lewis-Stempel's nature writing. In lyrical prose, he reveals the hidden workings of each habitat: the clear waters and dragonflies; the bluebells, badgers and stag beetles; wild thyme; granite cliffs; rock pools and sandy beaches; red deer standing at ancient oaks; the wayside flowers of the lane; hedgehogs and hares; snow on the high peaks.
