Description
From the author of the highly acclaimed Seasons tetralogy, nominated for several awards including the Wainwright Prize, and acknowledged amongst the top UK nature writers; the much-loved Lake District is the jewel in our scenery crown, yet few serious nature writers have turned their attention here; perhaps none with such a focused eye; a new way of seeing one of the UK's most 'seen' landscapes.
About the Author
Jim Crumley is an ardent advocate for our landscapes and animals, and the reintroduction of species like sea eagles, beavers and wolves. He is a nature writer, journalist and poet with decades of field observation and some 30 books to his name. He has won and been shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards. The sheer beauty of his description - in, for example, the Encounters in the Wild series of gift books which describe close and personal moments observing Britain's favourite animals - has found him many dedicated readers.
