Autumn is a time of transformation. Crisp, clear days mark summers close & usher in a new season with its rich scents & vivid palette, leaves flaming red & gold by day, bonfires & fireworks lighting up the lengthening nights. There is abundance, as humans & animals make stores for the winter; & there is decay, which gives rise to the next cycle of life.

In prose & poetry from across the British Isles, Autumn captures both the exhilaration & the melancholy of this turning point in the year. Featuring original writing by Horatio Clare, John Lewis-Stempel & Amy Liptrot, classic extracts from the work of Ted Hughes, Helen Macdonald & Nan Shepherd, & a wealth of fresh new voices, Autumn is an evocative celebration of the years decline
- & new beginnings.
