This is a spellbinding contribution to the literature of landscape and place from a writer at the peak of his powers.

Benjamin Myers is an award-winning novelist with a major cult following who hit the mainstream in 2018 when he won the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction for his novel 'The Gallows Pole'. Ben's profile is growing rapidly, including several appearances on BBC 6 Music, with 'The Gallows Pole' being selected for the first Slow Readers Book Club on the station. His work has been widely praised by nature writers including Robert MacFarlane, Amy Liptrot and Rob Cowen.
