Description
The Wood: The Life and Times of Cockshutt Wood by John Lewis-Stempel is a lyrical and informative account of English woodlands as they change with the seasons. Written in diary format, the book follows the author's four-year experience managing a three-and-a-half-acre woodland in south-west Herefordshire.
Through his time in the wood, John Lewis-Stempel comes to know its inhabitants, from the fox and pheasants to the wood mice and tawny owl, and the plants that thrive there, including the bluebells. This is a sanctuary not just for the wildlife, but also for the author, who finds solace in the changing seasons and the rhythms of nature.
As the seasons unfold, the wood's beauty and complexity are revealed, from the ease of walking through its paths to the sudden surprises of a screen of leaves or a startled bird. This is a book that invites you to walk alongside the author, to experience the wood's beauty and tranquility, and to appreciate the importance of these small refuges for wildlife and for the human spirit.
