By John Lewis-Stemple

Favorite quote: “A wood on a winter’s eve, no matter where you are, when the snow is falling through the trees, is existence stripped back to the elements. It is the Ice Age returned in miniature.”

From the publisher: John Lewis-Stemple’s The Wood in Winter is a beautiful piece of nature writing about the life of a wood in bleak midwinter, tying in old festivals and traditions which are so weighted with meaning at this time of year. He writes about why being in a wood in winter strips us to our essential soul, and how close encounters with the animals who thrive in this hard season remind us of our own deep connection to the earth. Includes poems by Nancy Campbell and Jackie Kay.

With beautiful illustrations by Angela Harding
