Neil Ansell’s THE LAST WILDERNESS is a mesmerising book on nature & solitude by a writer who has spent a lifetime taking solitary ventures into the wild. The experience of being alone in nature is set within the context of a series of walks into the most remote parts of Britain, the rough bounds in Scottish Highlands. Writes of changes in landscapes, how hearing loss affected his relationship with nature as the call of birds becomes silent. We look again at the familiar with a sense of wondrous revelation. Poignant, beautiful.
