What really goes on in the long grass? Meadowland gives an unique and
intimate account of an English meadow's life from January to December,
together with its biography. In exquisite prose, John Lewis-Stempel
records the passage of the seasons from cowslips in spring to the
hay-cutting of summer and grazing in autumn, and includes the
biographies of the animals that inhabit the grass and the soil beneath:
the badger clan, the fox family, the rabbit warren,the skylark brood and
the curlew pair, among others. Their births, lives, and deaths are
stories that thread through the book from first page to last.
