About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Calming, thought-provoking, poetic and honest, Notes from Walnut Tree Farm is a collection of writing and musing by documentary-maker, environmentalist and author of Waterlog Roger Deakin.

For the last six years of his life, Roger Deakin kept notebooks. In them, he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations about and around his Suffolk home, Walnut Tree Farm. Collected here are the very best of these writings, capturing his extraordinary, restless curiosity about nature as well as his impressions of our changing world.

Perfect for fans of Robert Macfarlane and Colin Tudge, this is a book that fills listeners with a desire to explore the world around them.

I loved this book it felt really nice to be rooted in walnut tree farm and have everything go on around this location having read deakins other 2 books I saved this for last as I didn't think it would say much more but it is probably my favourite as it gives a full picture of his life on the farm and little anecdotes that give a portrait of his personality

surprisingly thorough portrait
