WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024WATERSTONES WELSH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2023From the author of Addlands, and featuring illustrations by Jackie Morris, an immersive and evocative non-fictional journey through Wales and a revelatory meditation on the nation's past, present and future.Sarn Helen - Helen's Causeway - is the old Roman Road that runs from the south of Wales to the north. As Tom walks the route, sometimes alone, sometimes in company, he describes the changing landscape around him and explores the political, cultural and mythical history of this country that has been so divided, by language and by geography. Running alongside this journey is the story of Tom's engagement with the issue of the climate crisis and its likely impact on the Welsh coastline. From one of Wales' most celebrated younger writers, Sarn Helen is at once a vivid and immersive portrait of a nation, and a resonant meditation upon the way in which we are shaped by place and in turn shape the places - potentially irrevocably.

En litterär barnbokssensation om djurens och naturens magi i traditionen från Det susar i säven och Nalle Puh Det var en gång, när ord började försvinna från barnens språk. Orden försvann så långsamt att ingen först märkte det. Blåklocka, björnbär, ekollon och huggorm. Ord som är borta nu. En gång var de viktiga för barn, för att beskriva naturen runt dem; för att formulera ett landskap som i tusentals år utgjort grunden för de minstas lek. Men kontakten med naturen är glesväxt nu annat pockar på uppmärksamhet. De förlorade orden återupprättar kontakten med de ord som gått i ide. En hyllning till jordens egna sensationer fylld av dikter och gåtor som leder till naturens skattkammare. En förtrollad bok för alla åldrar. Boken är rikt illustrerad med Jackie Morris akvareller, som röstats fram som årets vackraste av engelska bokhandlare och som även ställts ut på The Fondling Museum i London. I översättning av Rose-Marie Nielsen. ROBERT MACFARLANE är en brittisk författare som har belönats med E.M. Forsters litteraturpris, Guardian First Book Award och Dolman Prize. Hans senaste bok Landmarks utsågs till årets bok i 15 länder.
