Deer Man: Seven Years in the Forest

A story of extraordinary power and tenderness, showing that intimate relationship with the wild world and the wild self is both possible and vital. Delorme is the best possible guide through the tangle of the woods and the tangle of the psyche. Deer Man will change you. It has the distinctive scent of an enduring classic. -- Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast and Being a Human' An extraordinary, unique story about how one man connected to the natural world in the 21st century * Northern Life * Haunting, remarkable and ultimately very moving * Sunday Times * A startling portrait of an animal that is both familiar to us and yet shockingly misunderstood... it is a delightful, moving read - and a quietly revolutionary one. -- Melanie Challenger * Guardian * Some deeply eccentric books have crossed my path in my time, but this one probably takes the biscuit . . . This is a lyrical, rather lovely book by a talented writer. -- Marcus Berkmann * Daily Mail * Deer Man conveys an intense sympathy for the animals and has passages of real beauty... It also has the special evocativeness of tales of time in the wild that take place close to ordinary life -- Peter Godfrey-Smith * Times Literary Supplement *
