NOTES FROM WALNUT TREE FARM

ROGER DEAKIN: A BBC NATURE COLLECTION

An anthology of programmes hosted by and about Roger Deakin, the legendary naturalist, introduced by his friend Robert Macfarlane. Author, filmmaker and conservationist Roger Deakin first came to fame with his best-selling book Waterlog, which brought wild swimming into the mainstream and pioneered the 'new nature writing' genre. Published posthumously, his second travelogue, Wildwood, and collected journals, Notes from Walnut Tree Farm, were also hailed as classics. The collection is introduced by Robert Macfarlane, a dear friend of Roger Deakin's as well as his literary executor.

WATERLOG

Roger Deakin set out to swim through the rivers, fens, lakes and streams of the British Isles. The resulting account is a new perspective on Britain, encompassing autobiography, travel writing and natural history.

WILDWOOD: A JOURNEY THROUGH TREES

In this celebration of the transforming magic of trees, Roger Deakin sets off on a quest that takes him through Britain, and further afield in search of what lies behind our enduring connection with wood and trees.
