One for The Shedworker's Bookshelf, this is former winner of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing James Aldred's account of restoring an old horse-drawn wagon in which he played as a child in the New Forest 40 years previously. It also looks at the natural history of the forest, the Romani families who used to live there, and present day inhabitants including otters and goshawks (Aldred is a wildlife cameraman who has worked closely with David Attenborough who celebrates his 100th birthday next week the day after this book is published).
