Vibrant, fascinating, informative . . . A brilliant bouquet of the
best of British wildlife from two superb naturalists and writers .
. . A poetic treasury that charts a year in living things, all the
things we love, all the things we wish we could, all the little
things we step over and never know
*Chris Packham*
A beautifully written love letter to the astonishing variety of
Britain's wildlife, animal, vegetable and fungal . . . Although
such an elegantly written book can be read cover to cover, it could
also function as a day-to-day reference. A nice one to keep by your
bedside, suggesting what to look out for tomorrow
*Sunday Times*
Westwood and Moss are the perfect guides for a seasonal tour of
nature's Wonderland. Inspired, friendly and blessed with apparently
limitless knowledge, they reveal the when, where and how of nature.
But more than that they offer the here, the gift of making you feel
present, sharing the wonder and energy of life all around us, from
the mountaintops to the city park
*Peter Marren*
This uplifting nature diary highlights natural wonders to
experience every day of the year. The expert naturalists behind it
are passionate about re-engaging with our wildlife. And,
encouragingly, many of the adventures detailed start in our own
back gardens
*Saga*
An essential companion for all wildlife lovers, taking the reader
on a day by day exploration of the wonders of nature across the
period of a year
*Choice magazine*
Drawn from their personal experiences and vast knowledge, Brett
Westwood and Stephen Moss have detailed a whole year (including a
leap day, just to be safe). Each date covers a different species
and provides a tantalising glimpse into the natural world . . . The
evocative writing will bring to mind the times the reader has seen
various species. For those not yet seen, the reader can't help but
be inspired, and start to wistfully daydream about seeing them
*Countryfile*
I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about wild flowers and
Britain's wildlife, but Wonderland has taught me a lot about what
to watch out for. I like the way it's written in the form of a
diary instead of a guide, which makes it more engaging and
accessible . . . Fascinating stuff, and it will open your eyes
about how rich in wildlife this island is
*Horse & Countryside*
An uplifting book that reminds readers how benevolent and
hospitable even the most apparently insalubrious landscapes can be
. . . absorbing enough to read cover to cover
*OLDIE*
They write with the deep authority of personal, first-hand
experience . . . clear, evocative and straightforward, never
overwritten or pretentious, but always informative, enjoyable and
stimulating
*BIRDWATCH*
An inspiring guide to exploring
*DAILY MAIL*
