John Lewis-Stempel Thursday 7th November | 7:00 - 8:30pm
John Lewis-Stempel is one of our finest nature writers - the "Gilbert White for the 21st century." His latest book, England, is his magnum opus - a five year project which offers an intimate account of the landscapes that define England and the rich tapestry of distinctive habitats that together make up a country unique for its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
Join John and The Yard's host, Rebecca Fletcher, as they explore the twelve quintessential places John chose to write about, their singular atmosphere, the play of the seasons and how our landscapes have helped to form our idea of ourselves and our sense of what ‘England’ means.
John Lewis-Stempel is a farmer and "Britain's finest living nature writer" (The Times). His books include the Sunday Times bestsellers Woodston, The Running Hare and The Wood. He is the only person to have won the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing twice, with Meadowland and Where Poppies Blow. He writes regularly for Country Life, The Times and the Countryman magazine and features for the Sunday Express. In 2016, he was named Magazine Columnist of the Year for his column in Country Life. He farms cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Traditionally.
