About this listen
Ian Grosz talks with author, playwright and Guardian Country Diary columnist, Merryn Glover, about her upbringing in the foothills of the Himalaya, the Cairngorms National Park where she lives now, and her book The Hidden Fires: A Cairngorms Journey with Nan Shepherd.
Merryn describes her early life in Nepal and India, and how that has shaped her as a writer. She talks about the beginnings of her writing career and the deep connection she has found with the Cairngorms through her writing, her involvement with the Storyland Sessions community project, and her time as first Writer in Residence for the Cairngorms National Park. Merryn reads from her book, The Hidden Fires, and gives an insight into how her spiritual faith informs her thinking on Nature and the Environment.
