Nature Cure

Little Toller Books, 2021. 248, . 222x160mm. HB. NEW. . To celebrate Richard Mabey's 80th birthday, a reissue of the seminal <i>Nature Cure</i>, originally published in 2005 to great acclaim. At the height of his career, having recently published <i>Flora Britannica</i>, the author and naturalist fell in to a deep and all consuming depression. Unable to rise from his bed, his face turned to the wall, Richard Mabey found that the touchstones of his life - his love for nature and the land - could no longer offer him solace. But over time, with help from friends and a move to East Anglia, he slowly recovered, finding a new partner, and a new relationship with landscape. <i>Nature Cure</i>, full of nuance and energy, was a pioneering book in the genre that has since become known as New Nature Writing, and received many plaudits on publication. For this new hardback edition Richard has written a new foreword and Little Toller has commissioned a new jacket by the celebrated artist Michael Kirkman.. [9781908213952]
