Product Information
A love song to the land. A magical month by month observation through parted grass of the flora and fauna of a meadow. _________________ 'BRITAIN'S FINEST LIVING NATURE WRITER' - THE TIMES WINNER OF THE THWAITES WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2015 What really goes on in the long grass? Meadowland gives an unique and intimate account of an English meadow's life from January to December, together with its biography. In exquisite prose, John Lewis-Stempel records the passage of the seasons from cowslips in spring to the hay-cutting of summer and grazing in autumn, and includes the biographies of the animals that inhabit the grass and the soil beneath- the badger clan, the fox family, the rabbit warren,the skylark brood and the curlew pair, among others. Their births, lives, and deaths are stories that thread through the book from first page to last.Product Identifiers

Meadowland by John Lewis Stempel
One of the best reads on the natural environment I have come across. Packed with quirky information and written in perfect prose. Ranks with the greats of this genre...today's Gilbert White. Wish I could write like this.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good read
Takes you through the seasons and what is happening in the countryside. Good observations about wildlife although a little flowery at times. Some interesting farming background too. Could read again a month at a time following the seasons.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
