Landskipping by Anna Pavord was first published in 2016. In the past I’ve enjoyed reading gardening /plant books by the author, but I found Landskipping to be rather disappointing.

It’s subtitled Painters, Ploughmen and Places and I had thought that there would be a lot about the places and landscapes of Britain, but it turned out to be very disjointed, it does indeed skip around as if the author was at a loss for more things to write about.

I’m aware that my disappointment is probably entirely my fault as I had presumed that there would be a lot of nature writing in the book, but there really isn’t.
