Christopher Nicholson''s first book of nature writing is a beautiful account of an unusual obsession. In 2016 he spent August searching for the remaining snows of the Scottish Highlands. His account of his solitary walk is by turns funny, fascinating and inspiring. A meditation on walking, mountains, snow and our changing climate, Nicholson also turns his curious eye on nature-lovers themselves. What are we looking for when we walk and what is it we want from nature? What is it we see and what is it we miss? What remains when we are gone and what have we lost from the landscape forever?
'A beautiful book... full of intense light and colour, extraordinary glimpses, moving insights and subtle humour' Richard Kerridge, author of Cold BloodAs the summer draws to a close, a few snow beds - some as big as icebergs - survive in the Scottish Highlands. Christopher Nicholson celebrates these great, icy relics through a personal meditation on their significance. A book full of vivid descriptions and anecdotes, Among the Summer Snow explores the meanings of nature, beauty and mortality in the twenty-first century. 'Beautiful writing that transcends form to arrive somewhere improbable and compelling' Paul Evans, Guardian
