"If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales, and I like them best of all."
- Audrey Hepburn
Absolutely tremendous! A nature diary by a young man who writes so entirely from the heart, and reminds us of the joy to be found in the everyday awe that nature gifts us. I can't recommend this book enough! ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
A beautiful, lyrical book that takes us under the surface of the marshy coastline of New England. Hanlon introduces us to the unique ecology of the area where freshwater meets saltwater, from the fully immersive perspective of the swimmer. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
Gooley should be required reading for everyone, he imparts the knowledge that we have lost as a species of the world around us. Like a village elder passing on vital information to the next generation. And done in such a fun and accessible way, this is someone you'd definitely want to take a walk with. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
Deakin may be responsible for the resurgence in the trend of "wild swimming" with his own passion, and the book it produced. Waterlog investigates the history of swimming in the wild, while embarking on a personal journey to swim through Britain's river's, lakes, lochs and even moats. Stunning writing as always from one of the greatest nature writers. It will inspire you to take a dip, wherever it may be. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
