ENGLAND A Major Natural History in 12 Habitats
John Lewis-Stempel an illustrated talk.
John Lewis-Stempel’s magnum opus is a five year project that offers an intimate account of the landscapes that define England.
Described by The Times as ‘Britain’s finest living nature writer’ he weaves a tapestry of distinctive habitats which together create a country unique for its rich diversity of flora and fauna. Immersing himself in twelve quintessential places, he explores each for their singular atmosphere: the feel of the winter wind; the sounds of daybreak; the solace of twilight. In beautiful prose, and detailed wildlife observation, Lewis-Stempel captures the essence of England.
