"A lyrical and hopeful evocation of everything that nature gives to us."
November 2024 Book of the Month
A book that truly celebrates a coming together of formidable talents to make something quite remarkable.
The story of how acclaimed writer Robert Macfarlane and actor and musician Johnny Flynn, fans of each other’s work, began to collaborate and perform, seems in itself almost magical and here, one of their iconic songs has been reproduced as a picture book, with incredible art provided by Emily Sutton. Her beautiful images give real depth to a song that grew out of the despair of lockdown, but evocatively captured that time when the world stood still, and we all valued those precious moments when we could be outside and appreciate nature.
It celebrates a father and young son experiencing those moments together, building abiding memories and with an inspirationally hopeful message, we see in the images the passage of time and new generations sharing the magic of the blackbird ‘singing of the world to come’ Lyrical rhythmic language that simply begs to be read aloud and shared while the beautiful images have more to explore with each revisit. Simply beautiful!
