Nature Diary Of A Quiet Person

This book is a lyrical appreciation of West coast nature by the brilliarit naturalist Philip Croft. Set in a diary form, it is based on Croft's regular daily walk through his own neighbourhood in West Vancouver, into the forest and down to the beach. Illustrated by the author with sketches and water colour paintings, the book is a beautifully articulate, humourous and philosophical tribute to the west coast's seasons.

Nature Diary of a Quiet Pedestrian is delightful, educational and a very pleasant read.

Philip Croft has illustrated Nature Diary of a Quiet Pedestrian and two other books, West Coast Nature as Seen in Lighthouse Park and Exploring the Seashore by Gloria Snively. He also gained notoriety as a regular contributor to Bob Switzer's The Western Gardener on CBC-TV.
