Exciting announcement!
I can't tell you how hard it's been to keep this under wraps for so long...
In November, Weidenfeld & Nicolson will publish my new book HOMECOMING: A GUIDED JOURNAL TO LEAD YOU BACK TO NATURE. This gorgeous hardback, specially designed with space for you to write in, is as close as I can get to inviting you on 12 chatty walks with me – only in book form.
A year-long course in noticing, you can begin in any month and carry on round to the start, and as the days and weeks pass I’ll help you to discover and note down the best things you experience in nature each day. I’ll encourage you to spot species, learn to recognise birdsong, experience inspiring natural phenomena, mark the changing seasons and join in with citizen science projects, all the while building a new habit of noticing: one that I truly believe has the power to change your life.
HOMECOMING is for absolutely everyone, and I’ve made it as friendly, welcoming and accessible as possible: you don’t have to know anything about nature to join in, you don’t need to have a garden or access to a car, and you don’t have to live in the countryside. It’s been fully illustrated in colour throughout by the wonderful Amanda Dilworth, and frankly, it’s the most beautiful book I’ve ever published.
It’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to rewild their daily life a little bit, but hasn’t been sure what to do or how to begin. It’s for you; it’s for your kids, your parents, your friends and all the people you love. I cannot wait to get this book into people’s hands!
HOMECOMING will be published on November 8th. If you’d like to pre-order a copy, you can do so here: https://geni.us/HomecomingHB
