Editorial Review | "In years to come, I have a feeling that Melissa Harrison will be responsible for the introduction of a whole new cohort of gifted writers to the English language. In collections such as this we shall encounter them first" -- Richard Littledale, blogger"Waking early in the dark is autumn's gift, I tell myself. Get out there and smell it, taste it, watch and listen. 64 authors in this fine collection, skilfully assembled by Melissa Harrison, have the same message. The UK in autumn is a feast for the senses. If you feel it is passing you by, dip into these pages" -- Sue Brooks, Caught by the River"This gorgeous little book is a diverse collection of autumnal prose and poetry, perfect to give as a gift to a lover of nature or literature, or to keep on your own shelves as a little treat to dip into from time to time ...The line drawings were simply lovely" -- Being Anne"A celebration of the year's rich transformation" --Plantlife"Full of vibrant colour and sound... Autumn is a stunning anthology that perfectly captures this most beloved of seasons" -- thebookmagnet.blogspot"A pretty book with something for everyone inside" --Call Me Madam"Whatever your own experience of autumn - whether it's a much loved season or not; even if you call it "fall" instead - I can highly recommend this anthology's chorus of voices old and new. There's no better way for a book lover to usher in the season" --BookishBeck |
About the Author | Melissa Harrison's first novel Clay (2013) won the Portsmouth First Fiction prize; her second, At Hawthorn Time (2015), was shortlisted for the Costa Best Novel Award and longlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction. Both are as much about the natural world as they are about people. She writes the Nature Notebook in The Times and her most recent book is Rain: Four Walks in English Weather. Wherever you are there is a Wildlife Trust caring for wildlife and wild places near you. There are 47 Wildlife Trusts covering the UK, all working for an environment rich in wildlife for everyone - on land and at sea.
