Daily ExpressI love this. A wildlife handbook, a sketchbook, a diary, it is really interesting and relevant, whether you are out in the garden, trudging through woods or stuck behind and artic on the A14. Indeed your sweet ;ittle dearly beloveds will be fascinated by the bits on road kill. With tips on beachcombing and facts about birds, flowers and trees, it is a useful primer too. All shot through with poetry. No really. Robert Browning, W.B Yeats, Walter de la Mare walk with you along the hedgerows and there's nothing quite like pond-dipping with Gerald Manley Hopkins for an earworm.
