My Natural History by Simon Barnes
Each chapter of My Natural History describes a specific natural encounter that has illuminated, influenced or enriched Simon Barnes' life.
My Natural History fizzes with verve, romance and delight - and more epiphanies than could reasonably be expected in one lifetime* The Times *
Barnes is a committed naturalist, with a wonderful knowledge of wildlife and a gift for bringing his enthusiasm to life - He has a deft turn of phrase and a lyrical style .
Reading Barnes's prose is a bit like peeling a rather elegant onion, as he gradually reveals secrets about his life through the medium of the natural world. My Natural History will delight Barnes' loyal readers and win him new ones.. * BBC Wildlife Magazine *
Few memoirs have been moulded around so inviting a conceit as this. Barnes writing is lovely and his animals are nicely observed, yet this is a book whose appeal derives as much from the author's generous spirit as the story he is telling. * TLS *
