Kommande
In this wonderous new work of nature writing, naturalist Declan Murphy undertakes an unforgettable journey across Ireland in search of its rarest and most beguiling orchids – accompanied always by his steadfast Dalmatian, Lucy. What begins with the discovery of a single withered stem in the winter‑bleak Burren becomes a summer‑long odyssey through limestone pavements, mountain bogs, ancient eskers and hidden woodlands. Murphy’s luminous, deeply attentive prose reveals a hidden Ireland where Arctic and Mediterranean species meet, where orchids flower briefly and mysteriously, and where nature’s beauty is inseparable from its fragility. Along the way, he encounters rare plants, devoted botanists, moments of quiet revelation, and landscapes that feel both timeless and under threat. Both a memoir of wonder and a celebration of Ireland’s wild places, this is a moving, richly observed tribute to curiosity, resilience, and the quiet companionship of a dog who sees it all at his side.

The new book from critically acclaimed writer, Declan Murphy.‘As I study the birds, animals and plants around me, I cannot helpbut see the patterns all living things seem driven to create.’Declan Murphy’s first encounter with a kingfisher as a young boy was unforgettable. Returning to the rivers years later, he embarks on a quest to study this most brightly-coloured bird during its nesting season, a seemingly straightforward challenge. But the river is slow to reveal the habits and secrets of its residents. Dippers, goosanders, grey wagtails and great spotted woodpeckers all yield their hidden habits to the author’s patient pursuit; yet the kingfisher continues to elude him.In this work of rare calibre in the mould of the great contemporary nature writers Robert Macfarlane, Helen Macdonald and Tim Robinson, the author’s retreat into the natural world is not simply for the sake of knowledge: nature is his remedy for managing the world around him. Since childhood, nature has provided balance, solace and direction.As the search for the kingfisher reaches its culmination, these two spheres, the author’s and the others’, suddenly and unexpectedly collide, forcing him to confront how he sees the world and leading to a resolution where balance is restored through the power and intervention of nature. Writing with hallucinatory clarity and singular powers of observation, he brings the beauty and mystery of the animal kingdom to light. His quest becomes the reader’s in the unfolding drama of his search for harmony and knowledge, from mythography to an acute awareness of people’s fragility.
