“I share Adam’s love of farming and wildlife and I found this to be a fascinating and indispensable guide to our wonderful countryside. Makes you excited to get outside and explore” – Kate Humble



Ever wondered why the dawn chorus is so loud in spring? What makes a summer sunset so special? Where to spot a murmuration of starlings in autumn? Or how to identify trees from just their bark in winter?

In Two for Joy, Adam Henson – much-loved and long-standing presenter of Countryfile – goes on a journey throughout each season to help you to find new and varied ways to reconnect to the British and Irish countryside. Discover what’s happening on farms, growing in hedgerows, the stories behind countryside superstitions, how to revive lost traditions, what you might spot when you look up at the sky and stars – and plenty more in this uplifting guide to the nature that surrounds us.

Whether you read this book in the depths of winter in an armchair by the fire, or on a picnic rug in a field on a sunny day, it promises to open your eyes to the awe-inspiring powers of our uniquely British countryside in ways you’ve never noticed before.

Divided into the four seasons, ‘Two for Joy’ will help you understand what’s happening on farms and in hedgerows throughout the year; show us the animals we might see around us and what they’re busy doing; bring to life the stories behind countryside superstitions and folklore; revisit old traditions and show us how we can include them today; and encourage us to look up at the trees, sky and stars.
