Among the Layers of the Land

More about the book

What makes a place ‘special’? We all have some connection with the land, whether we simply walk on it or enjoy the view of a landscape. The connections with a place can go much deeper than just scenery, however, such as the personal links with farming, watching wildlife, or hill-walking. This extraordinary book reflects on the different ways that we look at the natural environment, alternating thoughtful non-fiction pieces and short stories that explore a fictional perspective. This stimulating format celebrates our relationships with landscape and place from some surprising angles to uncover the layers of the land that enrich our understanding of the world.
