Synopsis
For the last six years of his life, Roger Deakin kept notebooks in which he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations. Discursive, personal and often impassioned, they reveal the way he saw the world, whether it be observing the teeming ecosystem that was Walnut Tree Farm, thinking about the wider environment, walking in his fields, on Mellis Common or on his travels at home, or contemplating his past and his present life. "Notes from Walnut Tree Farm" collects the very best of these writings, capturing Roger's extraordinary, restless curiosity about the natural and human worlds, his love of literature and music, his knack for making unusual and apposite connections, and of course his distinct and subversive charm and humour. Together they cohere to present a passionate, engaged and - in spite of the worst pressures of contemporary life - optimistic view of our changing world.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. In common with most of Roger Deakin's books, this copy seems to have been dragged out into the countryside with its owner and been a bit soiled and rain wetted in consquence. Decorated boards, no jacket as issued, dark green endpapers. Some slight wear to top and bottom of covers and spine, some damp cockling to page block, corners bruised, some grubby fingerprints to page fore edges, price on back board (£20.00), no inscriptions, internally cleanish tight and square, overall a vg copy. 309pp. For the last six years of his life, naturalist and author Roger Deakin (1943-2006), kept notebooks in which he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations. Discursive, personal and often impassioned, they reveal the way he saw the world, whether it be observing the teeming ecosystem that was Walnut Tree Farm, thinking about the wider environment, walking in his fields, on Mellis Common or on his travels at home, or contemplating his past and his present life. 'Notes from Walnut Tree Farm' collects the very best of these writings, capturing Roger's extraordinary, restless curiosity about the natural and human worlds, his love of literature and music, his knack for making unusual and apposite connections, and of course his distinct and subversive charm and humour.
