How Nature Restores Us: Talk with Jay Griffiths & Gareth Howell-Jones

Jay Griffiths explores how animals can have a role in every level of healing, from the individual to the collective, guiding us in how we might create societies that are healthier, fairer and kinder. How Animals Heal Us puts animals at the heart of a restorative vision of health.

In Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows, Gareth Howell-Jones looks at the simple, everyday things around us - trees, woodlice, cats, people and, of course, hedgehogs - to develop a radical and heartening world-view based on nature rather than cultural traditions.

Together, they reimagine our place in nature with wonder, hope and a lot of humour.

Jay Griffiths is the author of many books including Wild: An Elemental Journey and Why Rebel. She has won the 'Discover' award and the Orion book prize and has written for Radiohead and the Royal Shakespeare Company. 'If bravery itself could write, it would write like she does.' (John Berger)

Gareth Howell-Jones is a writer, bookseller and garden designer. His previous book was Do Not Call the Tortoise. 'Stunning - full of revelatory beauty.' (Katherine May)
