Wanderland: A search for magic in the landscape (Hardback)

'Warm, open-minded and endlessly curious, Jini is an ideal guide to Britain's more unusual places and people. Wanderland is a truly engaging exploration, full of heart and soul.' - Melissa Harrison

'What a wonderful book Wanderland is! A witty, gentle, original and very modern quest for the magical (not the mythical) in Britain's landscape, which both made me laugh and moved me. I wish Roger Deakin could have read this book, for he would surely have recognised a kindred spirit in Jini Reddy.' - Robert Macfarlane

'Curious and tenacious, Jini learns to accommodate both solitude and the gifts of chance, discovering at last a new way of being, a new way of seeing, a new way of listening to the complex voices of this archipelago - animal, aerial, human and other-than-human.' - Katharine Norbury

'With an unusual but timely eco-spiritual edge, and an alluring blend of memoir and nature-writing this touches on themes of identity and belonging as it charts how a restless spirit fell in love with her native land.' - Caroline Sanderson, Editor at The Bookseller (Editor's choice in the Bookseller)

'Wanderland is extraordinary, unique even, standing apart from recent books about the British countryside..... She is, she declares, lovesick: at times her prose has a dreamy, almost erotic charge.' - Ben Hoare, Countryfile

'Wanderland is a skilfully crafted and touching memoir of self-discovery inspired by Britain's wild places.' - Mark Whitley, The Countryman

'A joyous celebration of the beauty we can see and the magic we can't.' - Tay Aziz, BBC Wildlife

'A breath of fresh air.' - Observer

'Candid, soulful and uplifting search for natural magic.' - The Lady

'A page turner.' - Sunday Express 'S' Magazine

'...doesn't just open your eyes to the Isles' mystical history, but also your mind to the possibilities of what spirits may be lurking there.' - Wanderlust magazine

'She rejects the stereotypes placed on people of colour, and crafts a beautiful story of self-discovery and exploration of the natural world.' - Brown Girl magazine

'In this funny, touching book...we are left with a sense that Reddy really has made contact with something deep within herself that feels entirely new and special.' - Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday

'Her easy style, genuinely questioning approach and willingness to take a wry look at her own self all carry the reader along in an engaging and often delightful tale.' - Stephen Moss, Resurgence & Ecologist
