Some comments from readers:
- “The beautiful sentences are at turns caring, archly funny, and deeply informed. The biological details will draw interest of scientists. The discoveries of antiquities were fun to read.”
- “I’m really enjoying it … am trying to eke it out to last as long as possible…”
- “A lovely, affirming book … the text is superb and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful.”
- “A lovely project, tooling around the bounds of Reading with observant and knowledgable guides”
- “… a love letter to the nature on our doorstep”
