A Wood of One’s Own

Second-Hand. ISBN: 9789715652237. Published by: Duckworth Overlook. A Wood of One’s Own is the story of how Ruth Pavey grew to understand and then shape this derelict land into an enduring legacy, a verdant landscape rich with wildlife. Interwoven with Pavey’s candid descriptions of the practical challenges she faced are forays into the Somerset Levels’ local history, as well as thoughtful portraits of its inhabitants both past and present.
