Editorial Reviews

About love and affection, spring and picnics on frosty afternoon, and the leisure that we have forgotten ever existed.

Miriam Rothschild

A gem of a book: rare, simple, innocent and charming. I was captivated.”

Good Housekeeping

About love and affection, spring and picnics on frosty afternoon, and the leisure that we have forgotten ever existed.”

British natural scientist and author Miriam Rothschild

Witty and barbed, Elizabeth’s memoir is read with elan and obvious relish…Both Elizabeth’s subtle sarcasm and overwhelming pleasure at the beauties of the natural world are interpreted charmingly… Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
