I loved it.' Edmund de Waal'A wondrous ode to nature's astonishing beauty - and an elegy for all the life we are in the midst ofdestroying.' Amia Srinivasan'An exuberant celebration of everything from bats, crows and hedgehogs to narwhals and wombats . . . Rundell is incapable of writing a dull sentence.' Observer'There is a constant joy in the book . . . A sense throughout of delight and wonder, and a reminder thatthese emotions also matter - may even save us. This is the point.' New Statesman
