This is definitely a book that I will be returning to again and again. Packed with wisdom and wonder it's a book that can change things, if you let it. A wonderful mix of nature, biography, wisdom and magic, and I would recommend this as a tonic for anyone feeling lost, lonely or disconnected from the world. Simply divine!
