This beautiful illustrated book was my new year treat to myself. I have had my eye on it for a while, I really love Angela Harding’s work which I first came across on the cover of The Salt Path by Raynor Winn.
Angela uses a combination of Lino and vinyl cutting and silk screen to create wonderful imagery and a very distinctive look.
This book moves through the seasons, taking inspiration from the natural world. There are fields, skies, waves and water with birds and wildlife; snapshots of the English countryside that are so calming to look at.
I have a real soft spot for nature writing, literature and illustrations. I’ve spent a few evenings slowly looking through this book and it is one that I will return to through the year.

I loved to live through a year with printmaker Angela Harding, as she takes the reader onto a journey to the places she touches down in a year's time and offers insight into how they inspire and influence her art.
This hardcover edition is one of the most beautiful books I own, coloured in white and light blue.
It is a good entry point into Angela Harding's art, as many of her prints are assembled in this book, and to me, they are just beautiful.
This, too, is a book to be savoured, and once it is read, it can be returned to season by season, or just because. It connects to the natural world, offering a moment of beauty, enjoyment and peace.
