Books by Richard Mabey

Richard Mabey is a prize-winning writer and botanist, described by The Times as 'Britain's greatest living nature writer'. Brought up in the Chilterns, he now lives in Norfolk where he and his partner, Polly, have created a complex garden with elements ranging from a walled vegetable plot to a Mediterranean garrigue and a self-sown oakwood. Highly praised for his poetic style and challenging ideas, he writes a monthly column for BBC Wildlife magazine and is the author of several books on nature and food, including the bestselling Food for Free, a book which has never been out of print, and the hugely successful Flora Britannica: The Definitive New Guide to Britain's Wild Flowers.
