John Lister-Kaye has dedicated a lifetime to exploring, protecting, and celebrating the British landscape and its wildlife. The joyful holidays of his childhood, filled with climbing fences and hedges in pursuit of birds and small animals, keeping pigeons in the attic, and watching foxes around the garden, were the perfect training for his two lifelong passions: exploring the wonders of nature and writing about them. Warm, wise, and full of wonder, The Dun Cow Rib is an enthralling coming-of-age story from one of the founding fathers of nature writing.
