Melissa Harrison, author of The Stubborn Light of Things




Lev Parikian is on a joyful journey to discover the quirks, habits, and wonders of how we experience nature.




Its often said that we re a nation of nature lovers, but what does that really mean?




Lev Parikian sets out to explore the many ways that he, and we, experience the natural world - from pavement to garden and from wildlife reserve to far-flung island.




He visits the haunts of famous nature lovers to examine their insatiable curiosity; meets ramblers, birders, and den-builders; and gets up close and personal with the nature he finds everywhere - including the kitchen sink.




Open a window, hear the birds calling, and join this warm and generous journey into the tangled bank.




‘If, like me, you ve got more into nature in the last few months, but sometimes feel a bit excluded by nature writing, then this book will make you feel included and welcomed.




Tracey Thorn




‘A witty, touching, and profound book about one man s burgeoning relationship with the natural world - and it s also a joy to read.




Stephen Moss




Lev s endearing child-like joy at even the smallest of encounters is infectious.
