This is a small but very beautiful book, a tribute to both the English landscape, and to the legendary nature writer Roger Deakin, who died in 2006. A holloway is a sunken pathway, a route so much used that over the centuries, it has become a channel in the landscape. Deakin and Macfarlane had spent time exploring the holloways of Dorset in 2005, this book is the result of a new exploration in 2011, and it was first published as a limited edition in 2012, now adapted by Faber. It's a lovely object, a meditative book of thoughts on life and landscape, with gorgeous etchings by Stanley Donwood. Lovely.
