    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2024

    Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2023 for Nature Writing

    'Exquisite, luminous and quietly radical . . . utterly unique and refreshing' Lucy Jones

    Where nothing grows, moss is the spark that triggers new life. Embarking on a journey though landscape, memory and recovery, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett explores this mysterious, ancient marvel of the plant world, meditating on and renaming her favourite mosses ? from Glowflake to Little Loss ? and drawing inspiration from place, people and language itself.
    'Fascinating, subtle and risk-taking . . . Poetry, descriptive-evocative prose, memory, memoir, natural history and more all drift and mingle in strikingly new ways' Robert Macfarlane
