Recenzje

You'll learn all sorts of interesting things without effort because he's a natural storyteller with a particular gift of understatement that is often laugh-out-loud funny - which you don't expect from a bee book... It's warmly personal, and stuffed full of the inescapable poetry and beauty of the natural world... Going on Bee Quest with him puts the natural world within our reach - to enjoy but also to protect... This is a truly positive and empowering read - you closed it better informed, filled with poetry, pies and ready to get out there and make a difference. Laline Paull Observer
