| In the last year of the old millennium, the ground-breaking nature writer Richard Mabey fell into a severe depression. For two years he could neither work nor play and did little more than lie in bed with his face to the wall. Worst of all the natural world, once a source of joy and wonder, became meaningless for him. This remarkable book charts his gradual return to joyfulness. |
