MEDITERRANEAN LIFE IN THE MEADOW

'BRITAIN'S FINEST LIVING NATURE WRITER' - THE TIMES

Winner of the Thwaites Wainwright Prize 2015

In this unique work, John Lewis-Stempel offers us an intimate account of the life of an English meadow from January to December, along with its biography. Through exceptional prose, he records the course of the seasons, from the cows and flowers in spring, to the grass cutting in summer and grazing in autumn. Included are the biographies of animals that inhabit the grass and the ground: the family of the badger, the family of the fox, the hare, etc. Their births, lives, and deaths are stories that run through the book from the first to the last page.
