What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Superb. Totally fresh and vivid’ - Chris Yates ‘Deakin’s account sings, as unruly and robust as the world he bore witness to … Deakin’s greatest gift is to make the ecologically minded life a matter of gleeful fun’ Observer ‘If anything this book is superior to Deakin’s previous book Wildwood, which is saying something, since that was marvellous. The diary form works beautifully … In just a few words, Deakin can delight and inspire in equal measure’ - Tom Hodgkinson
