The weather remains chilly but we have plenty of bookish news to warm your soul.
IS A RIVER ALIVE by Robert Macfarlane
Is A River Alive by celebrated author of Underland, Robert Macfarlane. Macfalane is considered one of the finest nature writers of his generation and whose ideas far transcend the physical regions he explores.
In Is A River Alive the author asks us to renew our contract with the natural world and to see ourselves as formed and informed by the landscape. At its heart is a single transformative idea; that rivers are not a mere matter for human use, but living beings who should be recognised as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane will take you on a journey into the history, futures, people and places of this ancient, urgent concept.
Is A River Alive will be published on 1st May and we have 20 signed copies. To reserve your copy of this vital story please pop into the Madhatter Bookshop or send me a message on 07774637941.
