Description
John Lewis-Stempel's intimate account of an English meadow's life offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the natural world. Spanning the seasons from January to December, the book chronicles the passage of time through the changing landscape and the lives of its inhabitants.
With exquisite prose, Lewis-Stempel records the stories of the animals that call the meadow home, from the birth and life of a skylark brood to the grazing and eventual death of a rabbit. Their stories weave in and out of the seasons, creating a rich tapestry of life and death, growth and decay.
