Shame about the voice
Mabey is always worth attention, and this is a fine collection of his columns. Sadly, the narrator is one of these rather sardonic types who seem to suck much of the life out of good prose. Still, the content is good enough to make up for it and make this worth a listen.

Read by the wrong voice
Really wanted to love this if it had been read by the author who has a lovely soft voice for nature.However ,this is read by Cameron Stewart who is great for war documentaries...he makes nature sound like the Normandy Landings.Bad choice.

Shocking narrator.
I’m not sure a worse narrator could have been found. They sound like a satirical comedy news caster from Brass Eye… and their monotone barking of the text sucks it dry of any emotion, nuance or joy. So at odds with the text that I am completely bemused.
I love Mabey’s work, but I had to switch this off after 20 minutes.
Such a shame.
