Into the Tangled Bank by Lev Parikian (Elliot & Thompson)
Library eBook
This was my out and out favourite book from the long list and I am really sad that it didn't make the short list and thus can't win.
This was a book that resonated the most with me. Parikian explores nature in the same way that I do - when he's in a new place he explores it, and occasionally makes trips to areas for a walk or to learn more but he's just as happy looking at the world closer to home.
The writing made me feel that yI was discovering things along with Parikian rather than him just lecturing me, and I certainly felt like I was sharing his walks and trips as he took them.
This was another book that let me see myself in the writing, another writer who approaches the natural world in the same way as me but is far more talented in communicating what he sees than I ever could!
Parikian has another book coming out soon and I am very excited to have an advance copy of that thanks to NetGalley.
