One of the best reads on the natural environment I have come across. Packed with quirky information and written in perfect prose. Ranks with the greats of this genre...today's Gilbert White. Wish I could write like this.

This author requires no introduction however, I cannot recommend this book enough for the passion and indepth observations and of the joys of nature. A worthwhile read to all connected to and love the countryside.

Meadowland portable in a traditional book form. What's more it's a great read. Easy to read in one go or dip into occasionally, Lewis-Stempel's prose is a delight for those that love good nature writing.

Brilliant read very well written by someone who knows what he is writing about not by someone who has done a lot of looking up on the internet.

Takes you through the seasons and what is happening in the countryside. Good observations about wildlife although a little flowery at times. Some interesting farming background too. Could read again a month at a time following the seasons.
