Two Roads My Garden World: the Sunday Times bestseller

Perfecto

Wonderful book!!!!!!

Pre-review note: There are many complaints of "aninal cruelty" and Monty's views on Fox Hunting. Monty never wrotes that he is for the hunting of any animal (and in fact often states otherwise), but simply tries to explaon that the situation of conservation is more complicated than a yes or no answer. I read this book as soon as it came out after reading an excellent extract of it in @gardenersworldmag . It did not fail to live up to the hype. The book is presented almost as a yearly diary annotating the events and interactions with wildlife - both flaura and fauna. Although the book was predominantly written through the lockdowns of 2020, "the Don" (as I like to refer to him. Usually after the words "Praise Mon le") also recalls on his many noteworthy past experiences with the wild. The book is insightful, personal, educational, amusing, inspiring, entertaining (is that enough adjectectives?) and, most importantly, needed. I recommend this book to all. Connections with our natural world need building and quickly. For our own mental health as much as any of the other plentiful, perhaps more obvious reasons.

One of my favourite books - great for dipping into.

Will use as a reference book very good descriptions of the creatures that visit the garden and farm
