Description
A hauntingly beautiful diptych of works inspired by Robert Macfarlane’s travels with celebrated collaborators to two eerie corners of England.
"A strangely lovely book…Contemplative, impressionistic and suffused with aspects of the mythic, these pieces operate at times like prose poems…."
"These stories convey [Macfarlane’s] talent for elevating even modest wonders with sincere attention….Macfarlane approaches the natural world with humility and a deep appreciation for the spirits that haunt a landscape."
"[A]n almost-too-fitting natural history for [2020]…Ghostways is designed to evoke more than inform, and often echoes what you bring to it…"
"A lovely evocation of some 'spectral and unreal' elements of the British landscape."
Robert Macfarlane’s prize-winning and best-selling books include Mountains of the Mind, The Old Ways, Landmarks, and, with Jackie Morris, The Lost Words. He lives in Cambridge, England, where he is a Fellow of the University of Cambridge. Stanley Donwood is a graphic designer and artist who has worked with the band Radiohead, producing artwork for their albums and promotional materials. His books include Bad Island, Catacombs of Terror!, Slowly Downward, Small Thoughts, and There Will Be No Quiet. He lives in London. Dan Richards is author of several books including The Beechwood Airship Interviews and Climbing Days. Outpost: A Journey to the Wild Ends of the Earth was published by Canongate in 2019. He writes for various papers and magazines including The Guardian, Economist, and Monocle, and lives in Edinburgh.
