‘Funny, accessible and full of wonders - a genuine breath of fresh air. - Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley and The Stubborn Light of Things‘An open, warm and unique journey full of unabashedenthusiasm for the natural world. A rare thing.’ - Stephen Rutt, author of The Seafarers‘Lev Parikian is one of those rare beasts: a naturewriter with a sense of humour. This is a witty, touching and profound bookabout one man’s burgeoning relationship with the natural world - and it’s alsoa joy to read.’ - Stephen Moss, naturalist and author

‘Try Lev Parikian’s witty Into the Tangled Bank. He starts with the wildlife found in your kitchen sink, and gradually deepens connections to nature within and outside your own four walls.’ - Ann Pettifor, Guardian (Best Books to Inspire Hope for the Planet)
‘I genuinely think Into the Tangled Bank should be put on prescription for anyone suffering depression or loneliness because it is an absolute tonic of a book that creates happiness in the very soul of the reader. I adored it.’ - Linda’s Book Bag
‘If, like me, you’ve got more into nature in the last few months, but sometimes feel a bit excluded by nature writing, like you don’t know enough, then this book will make you feel included and welcomed.’ - Tracey Thorn
