Adam Nicolson - Bird School: A Beginner In The Wood
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’. <div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>“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</div><div><br></div><div>Before and after the event, Adam will be selling signed copies of his new book, provided by Highland Bookshop. All tickets £12.50, so get in early for the best seats!</div>PT1H30MU2026-05-22Adam Nicolson
