BB's diary of a year in the countryside. "[The author] writes about his absorbing interests - wildfowling, carp fishing, fighting for the survival of the purple emperor butterfly, and painting - as well as recording some sadnesses - the loss of his fish in Big Pond under the winter's ice and the decrease in bird species in the countryside. His evocative writing always leaves its mark, for all his descriptions are so exhilarating that readers will be fired to follow him through the fields and woods to watch the fieldmouse or the purple emperor, the fallow deer or moorhen - or even to a pond at dead of night on a carp-catching expedition. As always, the text is perfectly complemented by D.J. Watkins-Pitchford's exquisite scraperboard illustrations."
