The Unofficial Countryside - Paperback

by Richard Mabey (Author), Iain Sinclair (Introduction by), Mary Newcombe (Illustrator)

During the early 1970s Richard Mabey explored crumbling city docks and overgrown bomb-sites, navigated inner city canals and car parks, and discovered there was scarcely a nook in our urban landscape incapable of supporting life. The Unofficial Countryside is a timely reminder of how nature flourishes against the odds, surviving in the most obscure and surprising places.
