Now in paperback, this is a celebration of wildlife and our agricultural landscape, as the author describes how he revived an area of ploughland in a traditional way. From the author of }Meadowland{, which won the Thwaites Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing in 2015 Traditional ploughland is disappearing. The corncrake is all but extinct in England. And the hare is running for its life. This book tells the story of the wild animals and plants that live in and under our ploughland, from microbes to the patrolling kestrel above the corn, from the linnet to seven-spot ladybirds that eat aphids that eat the crop.
