Deep Country

Product Description

Deep Country is Neil Ansells account of five years spent alone in a hillside cottage in Wales. I lived alone in this cottage for five years summer & winter with no transport no phone. This is the story of those five years where I lived & how I lived. It is the story of what it means to live in a place so remote that you may not see another soul for weeks on end. & it is the story of the hidden places that I came to call my own & the wild creatures that became my society. A beautiful translucent portrayal of mid-Wales". (Jay Griffiths). " Touching. Through Ansells charming & thoroughly detailed stories of run-ins with red kites curlews sparrowhawks jays & ravens we see him lose himself.. .in the rhythms & rituals of life in the British wilderness". (Financial Times). " Remarkable fascinating". (Time Out). "A gem of a book an extraordinary tale. Ansells rich prose will transport you to a real life Narnian world that CS Lewis would have envied. Find your deepest most-comfortable armchair & get away from it all". (Countryfile). Neil Ansell spent five years living on a remote hillside in Wales & wrote his first book Deep Country about the experience. Since that time he has become an award-winning television journalist with the BBC. He has travelled in over fifty countries & has written for the Guardian the New Statesman & the Big Issue."
