Description
Wanderers in the New Forest is a personal account of Juliette de Baïracli Levy's extraordinary life living wild in rural England. In the early 1950s, she settled in a thatched cabin in the New Forest for three years and raised her children in harmony with nature.
Levy's experiences in the forest were marked by a deep connection with the natural world and its inhabitants. She drew water from Abbots Well, bathed in Windmill Hill Pond, and shared it with animals, while also tending to her forest garden of herbs, flowers, and vegetables. Her friendships within the local traveller community allowed her to record the impact of post-war modernisation on their traditions and way of life.
This new edition is illustrated throughout with photographs taken by Juliette de Baïracli Levy during her time in the forest, offering a unique glimpse into this remarkable period in her life.
