About the Author:
Simon Barnes is the multi-award-winning chief sportswriter at The Times in London. He also writes two Saturday columns on wildlife. His twenty-odd books include three novels and the best-selling How To Be a Bad Birdwatcher. His most recent book is Birdwatching With Your Eyes Closed. He lives in Norfolk, United Kingdom, with his family and four horses, beside a marsh.
Review:
This episodic journey into the wilds of Devonshire, Africa and memory - the edenic spaces where species fleetingly coexist - is studded with descriptive jewels. * Nature * Few articulate the joy of watching - no, the joy of simply being with - wildlife like Simon Barnes, lyrical and prosaic in the same breath ... A delightful curiosity. -- Paul Bloomfield * BBC Wildlife * Full of brief, digestible and often-personal nuggets - centred on the Luangwa Valley in Zambia - and makes for breezy, bright-eyed reading. * Wanderlust * These chapters are littered and bejewelled with eco factoids, fascinating and irreverent. * The Times Saturday Review * This episodic journey into the wilds of Devonshire, Africa and memory - the endemic spaces where species fleetingly coexist - is studded with descriptive jewels. * Nature * His attitude to the great outdoors is similarly eclectic, combining the impish humour of an enlightened Buddhist with a fierce intelligence and superb observational skills. * Mail on Sunday * The Sacred Combe is partly a hymn to his own spiritual home, partly a meditation on the qualities that go to make such places. * Daily Telegraph *
