Synopsis

The Eye In The Thicket is the first in a new series of natural history essays from Thistledown Press. The essays in this inaugural volume were commissioned from a number of outstanding writers (many of them national prize winners).

All write with passion, originality and humour about the natural world, our place within it, and our impact upon it.
