Description

John Wyatt first encountered the Lake District during a boyhood camping trip to Windermere.

He was overwhelmed by the freedom of the landscape and the closeness to nature he felt.

It was as if he belonged here, amongst the fells, the crags and the endless horizon.

This call to the wild stayed with him, becoming so powerful that one day he did what many only dream of: he left a steady job and his town life to become a forestry worker in a Lakeland wood at Cartmel Fell.

This is one of the finest books ever written on the Lake District.

Like Thoreau, John Wyatt embraced the simplicity of living alone in a woodland hut, immersing himself in a life made rich by birdsong, foraging for food the smell of woodsmoke, and the extraordinary companionship of Buck, a young roe deer discovered in the woods.
