I really enjoyed Gone - an engaging and entertaining sprint through what we've lost and what remains* Stephen Rutt author of The Seafarers - shortlisted for British Birds' Best Bird Book of 2020 *
Really, really well written. * Chris Packham *

I have enjoyed reading this book enormously. Sadly, these fairy-like tales are true! This accessibly written book should be read by everyone as we need to understand why past species became extinct to help save the next cohort of at-risk species and Blencowe's narrative bring this to life in a way I have never seen done before. * The Niche: The Journal of the British Ecological Society *
