The Essay - Richard Mabey

Not to be missed is Radio 3's 'The Essay', which this week features nature writer Ricard Mabey, author of Food for Free, The Unofficial Countryside, Common Ground and Nature Cure. In a series of five programmes he '"attempts to marry a Romantic view of the natural world with a tad of scientific precision" in essays concentrating on each of our senses. Tonight and every night until Friday, at 11.00 pm - or on listen again:
