Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyricalHere, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road
In her subtle, captivating book Feral Borough – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection
In her book, Wild City, Florence Wilkinson takes us on a fascinating journey into why we should engage with our fellow urban speciesWhat we might see – if we only take the time to look – and how nature is adapting to human-engineered environments in unexpected and ingenious waysWild City proposes a compelling manifesto for city wildlife, suggesting how we might take action to protect the often-overlooked residents who live alongside us
