A review for Living with Greys by Roger Morgan-Grenville
Posted by Lydia Unwin on
'To call 'Living with Greys' a coffee table book would be like calling the Mona Lisa a painting. It is the glorious distillation of hundreds of hours observation into stunning images and wise commentary. Above all, it properly presents the resurgent grey partridge among its natural fellow creatures, and alongside the people who passionately look after them. It is a wonderful treasure of a book.'
Roger Morgan-Grenville is a writer, speaker and campaigner on conservation, with a particular interest in biodiversity loss and recovery.
New Book: Taught by Dogs by Colin Whittemore
Posted by Lydia Unwin on
This evocative book is deeply personal, written with honesty from the heart; celebrating dogs and championing country life. It is the autobiographical story of a family and the dogs that have kept them company. The narrative reflects upon the happy notion that people are the better for sharing their lives with dogs. It begins with scenes of the working farm sheepdogs, terriers and hounds and ends with the author’s present companion (Dachshund, as it happens). Because it is about the lives of dogs and people, it has shadow and sunshine, sorrows and smiles. The author brings alive the countryside in which his family has lived: from the time when farms were places not for machines but for families, up to the present day when most dogs are house pets, not working farm-hands.
