A classic collection of poetry from Batsford editions, now reissued with an eye-catching new cover. This soothing anthology of poems about nature, with one for each day of the year, is the perfect companion for your bedside table, helping you relax and unwind at the end of each day.

Now more than ever, we need a daily dose of the natural world to comfort and distract us from the cares of everyday life. Keep this beautiful book by your side and enjoy a dreamlike walk in nature every night, just before you sleep.

All the great, timeless poets are here – William Wordsworth, John Keats, Emily Dickinson, Robert Bridges – along with some newer and lesser-known voices of poetry. The poems reflect and celebrate the changing seasons: read Emily Brontë about the bluebells of spring and Edward Thomas’s 'Adlestrop' in summer, then experience the golden autumn with Hartley Coleridge, and find comfort in William Blake’s 'To Winter' during winter.

Beautifully illustrated with scenes from each season, this wonderful book deserves a place on your bedside table for many years.
