Meet the skylark, the wren, the chiffchaff and the robin in Charlie Corbett's lyrical and life-affirming book.
Through twelve characterful birds, Charlie shows us there is joy to be found if we know where to look, and how to listen. A deeply personal journey of grief, uncertainty and healing, Charlie explores the place of these birds - from solitary skylarks to squabbling sparrows - in our history, culture and landscape. Join Charlie and presenter Rebecca Fletcher as they explore how the changing of the seasons and observing nature with heart and mind can lead to finding nature's lessons in happiness.
