NATURE TALES FOR WINTER NIGHTS (HB)

A hibernation companion to transport you across space and time, and bring a little magic to every winter night. Here are Inuit legends, observations from Beth Chatto’s garden and Tove Jansson’s childhood in Finland; artists’ private letters, lines from Anne Frank’s diary and fireside stories from around the world. Join the naturalist Linnaeus travelling on horseback in Lapland, frost fairs on the Thames and witch-hazel harvesting in Connecticut; experience Alpine adventures and courtship in the snow in classical Japan and Ancient Rome. ‘Absolutely exquisite’ – Horatio Clare.
