Antonia Dundas has lived on the edge of the South Downs of West Sussex for more than sixty years. Riding and rambling along their many paths and tracks, she has developed a deep and intimate knowledge of the area and its wildlife, and chronicles here the life of the Downs over twelve months from January to December, at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Accompanied with her own beautiful and delicately observed watercolours, this book revels in the passing of the seasons. Antonia's celebration of nature's finery has been lovingly created, and will appeal to anyone with a love of the Downs and the natural world.
