‘We all know Eoin Warner’s soft, lyrical voice from nature documentaries. Now he brings his song to the written page, and reading this gorgeous book the words speak to you in those same tones, like a good, trusted friend relating a story. As so often with the most powerful, memorable nature writing, this book is, in essence, a collection of stories that meld personal life experiences – like the very early loss of his father – with a love of the natural world that is as unapologetically bold as any wild flower, tree or animal. His descriptive powers, passion, and raw honesty will immerse, astonish, and transport you to hidden places you never even knew existed.As soon as word gets out, this book will fly off the bookshop shelves.’

‘Long after I close the pages, the moments captured in this captivating book continue to resonate and mesmerise. Through intrigueing encounters with wild beings, Eoin lends us an indelible lens through which to see the world. This is an eye-opening sharing of perspective by a gifted writer, weaving together ecology, history, folklore and personal insight. Through the Long Grass is generous, enchanting and important.’

Anja Murray

‘This book is so delicately written, and paints such a vivid image of the beauty of Irish nature and of life itself. But it also links it all tenderly into Eoin’s own warm and thoughtful self. This is a book that will persist through many generations, and rightly so. This is a book that will soak into your very bones, and you’ll be left looking at the world in a different light.’
