Description
It's easy to feel disconnected from the beauty and rhythms of the natural world, so if you have ever gazed in awe at stars in the night's sky, tried to catch a perfect snowflake or longed for the comfort of a roaring log fire, then this is the book for you. From spotting Britain's five kinds of owl to gardening by the phases of the moon, from curing a cold to brewing your own ale, and from navigating by the stars to making sloe gin, this lovely illustrated miscellany is packed with instructions and lists, ancient customs and old wives tales, making it an indispensable guide to countryside lore.
