Description

Richard Mabey's personal journey from depression to recovery is a remarkable story of transformation and self-discovery. In this account of his first year back in life, he recounts how the natural world, which had once brought him joy, became meaningless during his illness.

As he gradually regained his health and moved to East Anglia, Mabey found himself drawn to a new landscape and a renewed sense of wonder. His writing about the changing seasons is exact and beautiful, but this book is more than just a personal account - it's also a exploration of our place in nature.

Mabey reflects on the value of all creatures, the morality of common land, and the role of imagination in reconnecting us with the natural world. His 'nature cure' is not a passive acceptance of nature, but an active and sensual re-engagement - a journey that offers insights into our relationship with the world around us.
