Review
If bravery itself could write (by definition it can't), it would write, I believe, like she does -- John Berger [Griffiths has] the intelligence of a naturalist and the luminous originality of a visitor from another planet * The Times * Griffiths's writing is dexterous and lush * New York Times Book Review * A rich and extraordinary vision. Jay Griffiths is a fearless adventurer with words and images. I salute her courage -- Philip Pullman Jay Griffiths is one of our most poetic and passionate critics of the ways of civilisation. Provocative, illuminating and shamelessly romantic -- Theodore Zeldin Jay Griffiths writes with such richness and mischief about the one thing that could truly save the world: its children -- KT Tunstall An impassioned, visionary plea to restore to our children the spirit of adventure, freedom and closeness to nature that is their birthright. We must hear it and act on it before it is too late -- Iain McGilchrist

Kith: The Riddle of the Childscape
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
