20 women writers from all over Wales recount their deep personal connections to the landscapes which have shaped their lives - their loves, their joys, their losses, their inner and their outer worlds. These essays present nature as a healer and teacher, and this anthology finds as its subject the unique bond with the natural world which comes over time spent in the company of wild things. Written from a feminine perspective with both new and established voices, In Her Element offers a much needed revision of contemporary British nature writing.
