DISAPPEAR INTO NATURE WITH A LATTER-DAY THOREAU

'A beautiful, translucent portrayal of mid-Wales'

Jay Griffiths

'Touching. Through Ansell's charming and thoroughly detailed stories of run-ins with red kites, curlews, sparrowhawks, jays and ravens, we see him lose himself . . . in the rhythms and rituals of life in the British wilderness'

Financial Times

'Remarkable, fascinating'

Time Out

'A gem of a book, an extraordinary tale. Ansell's rich prose will transport you to a real life Narnian world that CS Lewis would have envied. Find your deepest, most-comfortable armchair and get away from it all' Countryfile
