A captivating, life-affirming memoir of a life in nature that celebrates finding wonder in our world.
''A wonderful book... It has taught me a lot. I feel great love for it'' MAX PORTER
At the age of sixteen, Marc Hamer left home with only a rucksack and started walking. By day, he observed the animals and birds. By night, he slept under hedges, in woodlands and on riverbanks. It was the beginning of a life in nature.
Years later, now working as a gardener and mole-catcher in the Welsh countryside, Marc tells of the experiences that have shaped him and of the wonders that he encounters each day. He considers, too, the fascinating ways of the mole and the myths that surround this curious creature.
This beautiful, meditative book explores what nature can teach us about ourselves and our search for contentment. It is a celebration of living peacefully and finding joy in the world around us.
''It is rare to encounter such respect and understanding of nature'' Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of Cows
** Longlisted for The Wainwright Prize 2019 **
(Published in hardback as How to Catch a Mole)
