I love books about nature and this one is no exception. It does what it says on the tin. The two authors go through the year day to day and talk about a specific animal or plant, even a mushroom or two.
The daily entrees are often short, but they celebrate the life that can be found throughout the year. The authors also narrate the audio book and I loved hearing them talk about something they were clearly passionate about. It was a real pleasure.
It’s not very clear who wrote which bit, but I guess that did not really matter and did not take away from my enjoyment. It was a joy and the snippets of information very interesting. The subjects range from rare sightings to birds and plants we all have around our homes
If you like books about nature, and maybe specifically British flora and fauna, this is a book to try for sure
