"Things of such magnitude deserve respect and understanding. They deserve to be remembered..."
Artist and illustrator Jo Brown started keeping her
nature diary in a bid to document the small wonders of the wood behind
her home in Devon. The pages in this book are an exact replica of those
in her original journal, a rich illustrated memory of Jo's discoveries
in the order in which she found them.
In enchanting, minute
detail she zooms in on a bog beacon mushroom, a buff-tailed bumble-bee,
or a native bluebell. And she notes facts about their physiology and
life history. Secrets of a Devon Wood is a treat for the senses, a hymn
to the intricate beauty of the natural world and a quiet call to arms
for all of us to acknowledge and preserve it.
It is a book that will stay with you long after you finally put it down.
