This wonderful book will be our bestseller over October, November and December. And deservedly so. Indeed no-one with an interest in Warwickshire can afford to be without it. For not only is it a delight to dip into, as I have found out, but it also repays close study if you want to know more about Warwickshire’s environment let alone it’s wildflowers. It explains how the local landscape has come to look the way it does, and how wildflowers have adapted to the challenges and opportunities associated with some six thousand years of local human activity. Whether it’s a section on the history and structure of the county’s arable farmland or one on where to find wetlands of all kinds and what you will find there, you’ll never be short of something to add to your knowledge, and above all make you want to get out and about. For the expert the information contained in the book is obviously incomparable, but for someone like myself it will continue to add interest and enjoyment to my own casual forays into the countryside. I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to buy this book. The photographs are magnificent, and at just £15.95 it’s terrific value.
