Duration: 1 h 30 min
Cast: Adam Nicolson

Join us for a special in-person event with bestselling, prize-winning author of the natural world, Adam Nicolson, being interviewed about his fantastic new book ‘Bird School: A Beginner In The Wood’. Close to Adam Nicolson’s home in Sussex, there is a forgotten field overrun by bracken and thicketed by brambles. It is the haunt of deer and many birds – nightingales, the occasional cuckoo, ravens, robins, owls and in summer the sweet-singing warblers that come north from Africa to breed in English woods. This gorgeous, highly acclaimed book charts Adam’s attempt to encounter birds and engage with a marvellous layer of life he had previously almost ignored. He wanted to look and listen, to return to ‘bird school’ and see what it might teach him. Beautifully written and woven through with philosophy, literature, science and a sense of wonder, ‘Bird School’ pulls back the curtain on seemingly ordinary birds, taking a long, careful and concerned look at our deeply intertwined relationship with the wild. “This is some of the best English prose of our time… Nicolson’s work is engrossing and uplifting because his extraordinary descriptive powers are matched by his attention and insight.” - The Spectator Before and after the event, Adam will be selling signed copies of his new book, provided by Highland Bookshop. All tickets £12, so get in early for the best seats!PT1H30MU
