For his book review this week Mark has picked Laurence Rose’s soon-to-be-published “The Long Spring; Tracking the Arrival of Spring Through Europe” from Bloomsbury Publishing.
Recording Rose’s adventures arising from his desire to explore “Europe’s remarkable heritage of exceptional places and the wildlife, traditions and people associated with them” he followed the arrival of Spring across the continent from it’s pre-arrival February beginnings in the north of Africa to its eventual appearance in the arctic.
