Anthony Nanson has a PhD in ecological storytelling and storywriting from the University of Gloucestershire, UK. His books include Deep Time (2015), Gloucestershire Folk Tales (2012), Words of Re-enchantment (2011), Exotic Excursions (2008) and Storytelling for Nature Connection (co-editor, 2022).

Wise, precise, scientifically fluent while achingly expressive, and distilled from decades of practice and research, this book reimagines storytelling for this moment of ecological emergency. Nanson opens up his story-crafting processes to illustrate how storytellers can integrate different forms of knowledge, and make space for listeners’ own explorations, emotions, and aspirations.
