Synopsis

This is another of Tony Holkham's gentle books for the gentle reader - to see them all, visit www.tonyholkham.co.uk. They range from business writing and private writing tuition to consumer advice; from the countryside to spring-cleaning; from World War 1 to fiction, verse and real-life drama. Something for everyone! These 'Views from the Hills' are the second volume of Tony's illustrated couyntry diary from Pembrokeshire. Volumes 1 (2011) and 3 (2013) have already been published, with Volume 4 in 2016. What's this book about? Shut out the modern, clamorous world for a moment, and this is what you experience - the natural world at its most fascinating. Tony Holkham's classically descriptive countryside diary is easy reading, and at the same time thought-provoking and amusing.. He sees things many people miss in their hectic lives, yet explains how a sense of wonder at these marvels is the way to reduced stress and increased pleasure. Illustrated with his own photographs, this first volume of Tony's "Views from the Hills" is warm, personal and sensitive; it is a celebration of his self-confessed feeling of privilege at having been able to live most of his life in rural areas of Britain; it is his way of sharing the wonder of nature with those who have been less fortunate. Don't be surprised if this gentle book stimulates you to look at the natural world with the wider eyes of childhood. Threaded through this pleasant meander through the seasons of a year in one of the especially beautiful areas of Wales are the exploits of Tony's Jack Russell terrier, Sparky, who makes everyone laugh with his love of life and has (with Tony's help) published his own book "BEING SPARKY: Some people think I'm only a dog"; this in itself is an example to all who struggle to live in, and make sense of, this unsettled world.
