The Freewood Years - My Son, His Animals and Me (Large print, Hardcover, Large type edition)

The Second World War was nearing its end and Mary Denyer and her eleven-year-old son, John, were living in a small, thatched cottage in Freewood, Suffolk, England. They immersed themselves in the wildlife of the wood and their cottage became home to a succession of wounded or orphaned animals. The Freewood Years is Mary Denyer's enchanting memoir of this time, an unforgettable tableau of a world within a world: of a beautiful, isolated environment untouched by the war. Above all, it is the story of a great and unsentimental love for wildlife undimmed by time.
