I look forward to Simon’s column in the Sunday Times each week, and I must confess, I bought this as a gift for A N Other and kept it for myself!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2020
It is a slightly different approach to the norm in potentially imparting the fascination of wildlife watching, written with obvious passion, and I think it would be fair to say that the style may not appeal to everyone. But the general message may.

From Chapter 23: ‘DEEP MAGIC FROM BEFORE THE DAWN OF TIME’:
🦁 ‘… ‘It means,’ said Aslan, ‘that though the witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of Time’.'
&
🦋 ‘…You can savour this magic: recognising the song of a song thrush, finding a slow worm, noticing that a deer has crossed your path, seeing a small tortoiseshell butterfly flying past intent on its own urgent business, noticing a robin drinking from the plastic pond you installed yourself. All these things enrich you, but even as you enjoy them you are beginning to be aware of a deeper truth. These things you sought are only the beginning. They are the symptoms of an altering condition…’
