Spring is the Only Season by Simon Barnes

Spring is the Only Season by Simon Barnes

'A book that filled me from first to last with a rapture as transcendent and thrilling as that which spring yearly provides ... I absolutely adored it!' STEPHEN FRY 'As dynamic and ebullient as the season it celebrates ... There is no one I'd rather spring into spring with than Simon Barnes' KATE HUMBLE 'An endlessly illuminating love letter to the most beguiling of the seasons' LEE SCHOFIELD, author of the award-winning Wild Fell Spring is the time of renewal. As the year turns, animals and plants that have struggled through winter are filled with fresh promise and create the next generation. Months of cold and dark at last give way to light, life and hope. In Spring is the Only Season, Simon Barnes joyfully guides us through the many wonders of spring – from mythology, religion and sport to wildlife, music and poetry. He unravels the science behind the seasons and shows us all of the ways spring shapes the way we live and understand the world, as well as how our impact on the planet is beginning to destroy the natural course of the seasons. Brimming with remarkable facts and fascinating insights, this is a vivid and multi-faceted celebration of a much-loved season.
