'A book that filled me from first to last with a rapture as transcendent and thrilling as that which spring yearly provides ... I absolutely adored it!' - Stephen Fry
'As dynamic and ebullient as the season it celebrates ... There is no one I'd rather spring into spring with than Simon Barnes'- Kate Humble
'An endlessly illuminating love letter to the most beguiling of the seasons'- Lee Schofield, author of the award-winning Wild Fell

Spring is a testament to the resilience of life, a time of renewal and rebirth, when animals and plants that have struggled to survive the winter begin to create the next generation. Spring has also inspired some of humanity's greatest art and many of its most significant religious festivals. Bad birdwatcher Simon Barnes explains the science of Spring; explores the music, paintings and poetry that have celebrated it; reveals how climate change has disrupted a familiar and dependable progression of the seasons - and shows what we can do about it.
