A full-colour, younger reimagining of Isabella Tree’s Wilding, which tells the story of a remarkable experiment: the rewilding of the Knepp Estate in West Sussex, the restoration of natural ecological processes, and the stunning recovery of flora and fauna. This is a child-friendly, accessible version of the book, gorgeously illustrated by Angela Harding.
Isabella Tree is an award-winning author and travel writer, and lives with her husband, the conservationist Charlie Burrell, in the middle of a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex. She is the author of five non-fiction books. Her book Wilding – the Return of Nature to a British Farm has sold quarter of a million copies worldwide and won the 2018 Richard Jefferies prize for nature writing and was one of the Smithsonian’s top ten science books for 2018.
Angela Harding is an author, printmaker and illustrator who lives in the village of Wing, Rutland. British birds and animals have always inspired her artwork. She is the author and illustrator of A Year Unfolding: A Printmaker’s View and Wild Light: A Printmaker’s Day and Night and has created the covers for many bestselling books including October, October by Katya Balen, English Pastoral by James Rebanks, and RSPB Birds, among many others.
