"... DEEP INSIDE US THERE IS STILL A LITTLE SPARK OF 'WILDNESS' BURNING, JUST WAITING TO BE IGNITED OR REKINDLED. WE JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT THE SPACE TO UNFOLD."

When Brigit Strawbridge Howard realized one day that she knew more about the French Revolution than about the local birds, trees and wildflowers, she was shocked. And one thing became clear to her at that moment: she must have lost something somewhere along the way. The deep need to experience as much as possible outdoors. The burning interest in plants and animals. The naturalness of perceiving her surroundings in every detail.
Full of the desire for change, the author takes us on her personal journey back to nature, past hillside birches, dark bumblebees and skylarks. She shows us how she discovered her enthusiasm for bees: the animals that ensure the survival of almost all plants - including ours.
