John Muir Book

It arrived today, waiting for me when I got home. Don't know what to say about it. I pick it up and leaf through and want to rewrite every sentence. But there it is. If it helps anyone get to know John Muir better then I will be happy.

Why a Curlew?

I love curlew, they have the most beautiful, haunting call, inhabit that wild hinterland between land and sea and manage to look comical and lovely at the same time. They are also associated with an ancient celtic saint. Legend has it that St Beuno was sailing off the coast of Wales and dropped his book of sermons into the water. A curlew flew down, scooped up the book and took it to the shore to keep it safe. From then on St Beuno blessed all curlew and said they should be protected for ever, hence their nests are really difficult to find.

I wrote an article for The Tablet called Call of the Curlew, it was published in 2006.
