BEST BOOK OF 2023 ACCORDING TO THE NEWSTATESMAN AND OBSERVERThe definitive biography of beloved author Roger Deakin Roger Deakin author of the immortal Waterlog and Wildwood was a man of unusually many parts. A born writer who nonetheless took decades to write his first book Roger was also variously - and sometimes simultaneously - maverick ad-man seller of stripped pine furniture on the Portobello Road cider-maker teacher environmentalist music promoter and filmmaker. But above all he was the restorer of ancient Walnut Tree Farm in Suffolk the heartland which he shared with a host of visitors both animal and human and wrote about - as he wrote about all natural life - with rare attention intimacy precision and poetry. Roger Deakin was unique and so too is this joyful work of creative biography told primarily in the words of the subject himself with support from a chorus of friends family colleagues lovers and neighbours. Delving deep into Roger Deakin's library of words Patrick Barkham draws from notebooks diaries letters recordings published work and early drafts to conjure his voice back to glorious life in these pages. To read this book is to listen in to a dream conversation between a writer and those who knew him intimately.
