I'm looking for a present for my mum. She generally enjoys non-fiction and has previously enjoyed books like "The hidden world of the fox". She's a 'young' early 70s, bit of a hippy who loves art and beautiful illustrations. Any ideas?

I bought The Wild Remedy by Emma Mitchell for a friend. It sounds like exactly what you are looking for:-

Also the wild wood by Roger Deakin. Or any others of his. He had a beautiful style.

This is beautiful. I was given a copy for Christmas a couple of years ago.

Edward Thomas's poetry and prose? There are lots of different editions.

You can look at some of the poems here if you want an idea:

Thomas wrote nature books as well, but they're harder to find than the poetry.
