Wintering by Stephen Rutt
Now in paperback: the perfect seasonal gift book for nature lovers; a celebration of winter and of the bird that heralds it.
"Stephen Rutt urges us to look again at these large, garrulous birds.. A poignant testament to how we can find peace in the rhythms of the natural world... With the arrival of geese comes winter and with their departure we receive a symbolic promise that summer will come again." - The Times, Books of the Year 2019 ; "A wistful, lovingly essayed volume. Illuminating history and descriptive nature writing make Wintering an understated gem for the festive season." - Waterstones.com, Gifts for Nature Lovers ; "Rutt's dreamy prose is as cool and elegant as the season he charts. His love for them shines throughout a seamless blend of field observations and cultural history, framed by his continuing journey towards discovering solace and sense in nature" - Jon Dunn, BBC Wildlife ; "There are undoubtedly health benefits of spending time with wild creatures and I am uplifted by this book and peer upwards searching for a first view of a skein of geese flying overhead to their wintering grounds not far from me. I will never look at geese the same again. Strangely, I can't wait for winter." - Caught by the River ; "From Dumfriesshire's spectacular skeins of pink-footed geese to the elusive Brandt, these extraordinary visitors are explored in this beautifully presented book" - Belfast Telegraph
