WOOD IN WINTER (CANDLESTICK PRESS) (PB)

This lovely 16 page pamphlet features a beautiful piece of nature writing about the life of a wood in bleak midwinter, tying in old festivals and traditions which are so weighted with meaning at this time of year. John Lewis-Stempel writes about why being in a wood in winter strips us to our essential soul, and how close encounters with the animals who thrive in this hard season remind us of our own deep connection to the earth. Also includes poems by Jackie Kay and Nancy Campbell. Supplied with an eco-envelope, it features a colour cover illustration by Angela Harding and internal b/w images.
