Brings to life the landscapes and traditions of Lee's home in Gloucestershire, from centuries-old May Day rituals and carol-singing on Christmas Eve, to his battle in old age to save his beloved Slad valley from developers
Guardian
Reminded me what a superlative nature writer Lee was ... I finished it with an ache in my heart and a tear in my eye
Spectator
Simply written, observant and shot through with Lee's characteristic humility ... Against his whitewashed prose are touches of beauty
