Media Reviews
'This charming book looks at a year in the English country-side, through delictate watercolours in the sketchebooks of a wildlife artist.' Good Book Guide (December 07) '... an enchanting publication... an enthralling, informal peep at the secret world of nature few of us are privileged to encounter.' Western Morning News (Devon - August 2007) 'This isn't a book to judge in factual terms - it's not about being informative in scientific terms - if it's to succeed it has to feel right and it does. It has charm, and that's the secret.'
