Richard Carter’s fascinating exploration of his local grouse-moor in West Yorkshire digs deep into natural history, human history, prehistory, and the history of science. His writing is grounded, insightful, and frequently hilarious, and he shows how falling in love with your own local patch can be a gateway to the whole world.

Mesmerising and other-worldly it is like a lullaby or a surreal trip to another dimension. Reminiscent of the Velvet Underground, Lou Reed and Brian Eno in a dangerously saccharin kind of way. Brilliant!
