Acclaimed wildlife cameraman James Aldred's award-winning chronicle of an unprecedented summer in the New Forest, now adorned with a striking linocut cover by illustrator Nick Hayes. This captivating diary, lauded by Ray Mears as 'a beautiful inspirational tale set in an extraordinary time', offers a unique glimpse into nature's resilience during the early days of the 2020 lockdown.
Tasked with documenting a family of goshawks, Aldred found himself in a forest devoid of human presence but teeming with wildlife. As the world stood still, he bore witness to a remarkable awakening: playful fox cubs, the haunting calls of curlews, and the majestic goshawks soaring like beacons of hope amidst uncertain times.
This extraordinary account, described by Lauren Laverne as 'wonderful' and praising Aldred's expertise, paints a vivid picture of a forest reborn. Helen Macdonald, author of 'H is for Hawk', hails it as 'magical and transporting... a beautiful and deeply evocative hymn to love, hope and connection'.
BBC Wildlife commends Aldred's 'entrancing, acutely observed, beautifully paced diary', offering readers a fascinating insight into the secretive raptor's breeding season. 'Goshawk Summer' stands as a testament to nature's endurance and the unexpected marvels that emerge when humanity steps back, inviting readers to experience an unparalleled season in the heart of the forest.

If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
