Opis

Both history and travel book, "Landskipping" is a meditation on the nature of the British landscape of matchless brilliance and iridescent beauty that will reshape the way we think about our country.

Recenzje

Rangey, deeply felt and sometimes luminous ... Like the raking light that exposes ancient lynchets at sunset, such knowledge brings out new detail in the one particular view over a gate which Pavord has loved in all seasons, and which she now evokes for us as it changes through a full year. From the vantage point of this ending, I look back and find that the mixed landscape of the whole book is cast in a very beautiful light Alexandra Harris Guardian
