A Wood of One's Own : A lyrical, beguiling and inspiring nature memoir Paperback / softback
by Ruth Pavey
Illustrated by Ruth Pavey
Paperback / softback
Description
Touring the West Country in the late 1990s, Pavey found herself in the Somerset Levels.
On seeing this expanse of reclaimed land under its wide, soft skies she was struck by its beauty and set-out to plant a wood, tree by tree.
She bought four acres, and over the years transformed them into a haven where woodland plants and creatures could flourish; an emblem of enduring life in a changeable world. Interwoven with Pavey's candid descriptions of the practical challenges she faced are forays into the Levels' local history, as well as thoughtful portraits of its inhabitants past and present.
Accompanied throughout by her evocative hand-drawn illustrations, A Wood of One's Own is a lyrical, beguiling and inspiring story; a potent reminder of nature's delicate balance, and its comforting and abiding presence.
