Overview:
A beautifully curated three-book bundle from the acclaimed nature writer and farmer John Lewis-Stempel, this John Lewis-Stempel Collection delivers a complete journey through Britain’s living landscapes. The Wildlife Garden offers practical guidance for transforming any space into a thriving wildlife habitat, from balcony boxes to backyards, with clear, actionable steps that invite birds, butterflies, and nocturnal visitors into daily life. Meadowland invites you to slow down and notice, following a year in an English meadow with lyrical, intimate observations that reveal how flora and fauna interlock with seasonal rhythms. The Running Hare blends field note storytelling with historical context to explore how modern farming reshapes habitats and the creatures who depend on them. Together, these three books provide a holistic portrait of the countryside—from cultivated garden to wild meadow to working land—making this collection a rich, immersive reading experience for nature lovers, gardeners, and curious readers alike.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This trio is guided by a singular, intimate voice that unites practical know-how with poetic reflection. The Wildlife Garden translates ecological ideas into real-world actions, helping readers design spaces that sustain pollinators and wildlife while enriching their homes. Meadowland offers a patient, year-long diary of an English field, turning everyday observations into a celebration of biodiversity and land stewardship. The Running Hare broadens the lens to examine the broader farmed landscape, highlighting how agricultural practice intersects with wildlife survival. The collection works as a natural reading arc: from the micro to the macro, from intention to impact, encouraging readers to act—whether by reshaping a plot of earth or simply rethinking their daily relationship with the land. A thoughtful gift for gardeners, readers of nature writing, and anyone who cherishes the English countryside in all its complexity.
Books Included in This Collection:
The Wildlife Garden
The Wildlife Garden is a practical, inspiring guide to inviting wildlife into domestic spaces. It blends garden design tips with ecological insight, showing how to attract birds, butterflies, and other shy garden visitors through thoughtful plant choices, water features, and refuges. Accessible and concise, it empowers readers to turn even small spaces into sustainable habitats, without sacrificing beauty. A perfect companion for new gardeners and seasoned plot owners alike, it makes ecological living feel achievable and enjoyable.
Meadowland
Meadowland is a year-in-the-life study of an English meadow, written with lavender-scented prose and close natural history observation. John Lewis-Stempel chronicles seasonal change, from frost to bloom to harvest, weaving anecdotes, folk memory, and scientific detail into a seamless tapestry. The book illuminates meadow ecology, plants, insects, birds, and mammals, inviting readers to notice patterns and prepare for cycles of growth. It’s a contemplative, sensory read that rewards slow immersion and offers a persuasive argument for conserving wild spaces as living classrooms.
The Running Hare
The Running Hare examines farmland’s secret life and the pressures placed on rural ecosystems by modern agriculture. It blends field observations, history, and personal reflection to reveal how species like hares, skylarks, and corn buntings have fared as hedgerows and meadows have changed.
