Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Calming, thought-provoking, poetic and honest, Notes from Walnut Tree Farm is a collection of writing and musing by documentary-maker, environmentalist and author of Waterlog Roger Deakin.

For the last six years of his life, Roger Deakin kept notebooks. In them, he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations about and around his Suffolk home, Walnut Tree Farm. Collected here are the very best of these writings, capturing his extraordinary, restless curiosity about nature as well as his impressions of our changing world. 

Perfect for fans of Robert Macfarlane and Colin Tudge, this is a book that fills listeners with a desire to explore the world around them.

A nature filled delight

I have listed to this book, eyes closed imagining myself in his place many a time. A book with infinite relistenability. Adore this and his other work

Another fabulous listen..

Another fabulous listen from Roger Deakin. Have to say Roy McMillan’s narration is so apt, so perfect. More than narration, more like theatre. Deakin is a little repetitive at times in this work, Not as glorious nor as original as Waterlog. But than what would be? All the same hugely enjoyable.
