This is another of Tony Holkham's many books available (sometimes FREE) from Amazon/Kindle - to see them all, click on the author's name below the title. Tony's books range from training business and private writers to consumer advice; from the countryside to spring-cleaning; from World War 1 to fiction, verse and real-life drama.
This is the second volume (2012) of 'Views from the Hills'. Shut out the modern, clamorous world for a moment, and this is what you experience - the natural world at its most fascinating. Tony Holkham's classically descriptive countryside diary is easy reading, and at the same time thought-provoking and amusing.
Illustrated with his own photographs, 'Views from the Hills' is warm, personal and sensitive; it is a celebration of Tony's self-confessed feeling of privilege at having been able to live most of his life in rural areas of Britain; it is his way of sharing the wonder of nature with those who have been less fortunate.
If this heart-warming and gentle book does not stimulate you to look at the natural world with the wider eyes of childhood, he will be very surprised.
Threaded through this pleasant meander through the seasons of a year in one of the especially beautiful areas of Wales are the exploits of Tony's Jack Russell terrier, Sparky, who makes everyone laugh with his love of life.
Volume 1 (2011) is also available from Amazon Kindle. As a reviewer said: "If you enjoy nature writing, you'll love this book!". Volume 2 is equally enjoyable.
Please note: If you don’t have a colour reader you can download a free Kindle reading app from Amazon to a PC, Mac, pod, pad, tablet or smartphone.
