Christopher Somerville, author of the bestselling Coast, based on the hit BBC TV series, returns to Stanfords with two new books.
Britain and Ireland's Best Wild Places: 500 Ways to Discover the Wild takes us on a journey through 500 of the wildest places in the British Isles.
From remote Scottish mountains to flower-spattered Irish bogs and forgotten canal basins in the heart of industrial England, Christopher's thought-provoking books challenges our understanding of what Wild really means, and explores the ways in which Wild lies on our doorsteps as much as in the loneliest landscape.
Complementing this is Christopher's second collection of 100 poems, Greenwood Dark. These poems explore outer and inner landscapes, reflecting Christopher's world-wide journeys as a travel writer.
Unlike most collections of poems, Christopher has set his in context, exploring and explaining the background against which each was written, so even readers who normally shy away from poetry will be fascinated by these.
