Heartily recommend this anthology for the nature lover in your life. (Okay -- I have an essay in it -- but you can always skip that one if you don't want to read about insects, parenting, and existential angst.)
Our friends at @saraband-books.bsky.social have included the Nature Chronicles Prize 2 anthology in their Christmas shop!
Treat a loved one, a friend (or even yourself) to this beautiful book of winning essays from the 2024 Prize 🍃

Be careful if building a bonfire this Halloween and Bonfire Night. Hedgehogs love to hibernate in piles of sticks and branches – so build a bonfire on the same day you plan to burn it, and check it carefully for hiding wildlife.
