The Oxford Book of Nature Writing by Richard Mabey

In this superb anthology, with its rich variety of sources from Europe and America, Richard Mabey charts the development of nature writing from the fabulous imaginings of the medieval bestiaries to the scientific accuracy and philosophical concerns of present day naturalists. It is both an inspirational and essential read, illustrating the diversity and beauty that has existed around us since ancient times. This book is intended for anyone interested in natural history, in nature writing, animals and plants, ecologists, conservationists.

Richard Mabey is largely regarded as the country's foremost naturalist. He is the editor of The Oxford Book of Nature Writing and the author of Food for Free, a breakthrough book about foraging in the countryside. He has written for the Guardian, Granta, and other newspapers, as well as narrated and produced successful BBC television and radio shows. He currently resides in Norfolk, UK.
