The Sunday Times bestseller, Emma Mitchell's richly illustrated and evocative diary, as seen on the BBC's Springwatch, records her nature finds over the course of a year and showcases the remarkable benefits of being in the wild for both mental and physical well-being. This captivating book is a true masterpiece, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Sue Perkins, renowned actress and broadcaster, praises it as "a beautiful, beautiful book." She further adds, "Emma's words are profound, her photography is inspiring, and her illustrations are exquisite." Emma Freud, esteemed author and psychoanalyst, describes her writing as "precise, gorgeous, and inspiring." Amy Liptrot, nature writer and conservationist, expresses her delight, calling it an "absolute joy." Joanna Cannon, bestselling author, praises Emma Mitchell's resilience and shares her admiration for the author's ability to convey her emotions through her writing.
For twenty-five years, Emma Mitchell has battled depression, referring to it as the "grey slug." In 2003, she made a significant change by relocating from the city to the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens. There, she embarked on regular walks in the surrounding countryside, capturing the beauty of nature through photography, collecting specimens, and drawing. These walks not only lifted her mood but proved to be as therapeutic as any form of talking therapy or medication.
In her hand-illustrated diary, Emma takes readers on a journey as she explores the local paths and trails, sharing her nature finds throughout the year. Reflecting on the impact of these encounters on her mood, Emma provides a candid account of her own struggles, offering a powerful testament to the potential of reconnecting with nature in addressing the current mental health epidemic. Written with Emma's characteristic wit and frankness, and adorned with her beautiful drawings, paintings, and photography, this unique book appeals to anyone who has ever been drawn to nature and pondered its profound influence on our lives.
