Year in the Woods (Paperback)

Paperback. 'Refreshingly unsentimental. Contains some wonderful descriptions and sentences which are so profound they demand a second reading' Sunday Express Colin Elford spends his days alone - alone but for the deer, the squirrels, the rabbits, the birds, and the many other creatures inhabiting the woods. From the crisp cold of January, through the promise of spring and the heat of summer, and then into damp autumn and the chill winds of winter, we accompany the forest-ranger as he goes about his work - stalking in the early morning darkness, putting an injured fallow buck out of its misery, watching stoats kill a hare, observing owls, and simply being a part of the outdoors. A Year in the Woods is enthralling journey deep into the heart of the English countryside. 'Stalking sharpens the senses and there is an almost hallucinatory clarity to Elford's writing' Observer 'Documents the awe-inspiring events that take place in teh forest each month' Daily Telegraph Takes you on a journey into the heart of the English countryside. From the crisp cold of January, through the promise of spring and the heat of summer, and then into damp autumn and the chill winds of winter, this book lets you accompany the forest-ranger as he goes about his work.
