Roger Deakin: A BBC Nature Collection: The Legendary Naturalist on Wild Swimming and Nature, Plus a Reading of Wildwood

This anthology of programmes hosted by and about Roger Deakin, a legendary naturalist, is a must-listen for anyone who loves nature writing, wild swimming, or simply wants to be transported to another world.

With two radio soundscapes that introduce us to his home of almost 40 years, The House, and the untamed land surrounding it, The Garden, we are given an intimate record of the changing seasons.

Next, we embark on a journey with Deakin as he paddles his canoe, Cigarette, from the source of the River Waveney to Geldeston Locks in Norfolk, capturing the sounds of the waterway and its wildlife along the way.

The collection is introduced by Robert Macfarlane, a dear friend of Deakin's as well as his literary executor, and concludes with a five-part abridged reading of Wildwood by Sean Baker, which takes us on a journey from Suffolk to the Australian outback in search of what lies behind humanity's profound connection with wood and trees.

Whether you're a fan of nature writing, wild swimming, or simply want to escape into another world for a while, this anthology is sure to captivate and inspire.
