The Wild British Hymnal: Timeless & Meditative Poetic Portraits from the Great British Wild

The Wild British Hymnal is a 200-page poetic anthology exploring animal lives across the varied landscapes of Britain—across open fields, into the wild night, among ancient oaks, along the tidal edge and down into the deep. Through poetry and illustration, it gathers moments of survival, grace and vanishing beauty from across the British wild.

Offering meditative poetic portraits shaped by weather, season, tide and terrain, each poem holds a single moment of presence: of movement, waiting and endurance, rendered in a cadence that recalls older oral traditions of litany, chant and hymn. Paired with evocative illustrations, this is a quiet act of witnessing—a celebration of what remains, and a gentle mourning for what is slipping from view.

October & The Wisdom of Spiders

A tender autumn tale of loss, remembrance, change and carrying love forward in the season of renewal. 

Meet October. She adores autumn. Always has done. She loves the colours, the conkers, the crunchy leaves, the cosy nights, the hot chocolate, the fireworks, the toffee apples, pumpkin soup and most of all her autumn birthday. But this year, autumn time feels different. It’s the first one without her Gran and nothing seems quite the same. In fact, October is certain she’ll never love her favourite season ever again. But autumn has more to teach her. About change, about love and about how the people we miss can stay with us in surprising ways.
