On this joyful journey around the wild borders of Britain, Christopher Hart takes us through the life, ecology and history of the humble hedge and how it had become inextricably woven into our language, landscape and culture, an unsung environmental hero. 

Perfect for readers interested in British wildlife books, hedgerow foraging guides, or nature writing about rural landscapes and rewilding, this book explores the deep ecological richness of our tangled native borders. From the rustle of a shy Dunnock in the undergrowth to little harvest mice building their nests, the pages are alive with the creatures and plants that thrive in this wild fringe. A book that will truly inspire you to see every hedgerow as a miniature ecosystem teeming with life.
