In this seasonal memoir, Michael Morpurgo reflects on daily life in the countryside through vivid snapshots of the animals that share his world. From watching lambs take their first shaky steps in the barn to catching glimpses of sharp-eyed sparrowhawks, hares darting across fields, and otters weaving secretly through rivers, his encounters are honest and alive with detail. Interwoven throughout are his original poems, offering a fresh, personal rhythm to the natural scenes he so masterfully describes. 

A perfect seasonal read for lovers of the outdoors, poetry, and meditative reflection, ideal as a gift, or as a companion for your own walk with one of our most beloved  writers.
