Secrets of a Devon Wood: My Nature Journal

Makes my nature journaling look like kid’s play. When I grow up, I want to be Jo Brown.

This beautifully illustrated reproduction of the artists actual journal is a delight to the eyes and makes one feel as though he or she were observing nature firsthand with the the author. This is a book one can refer to again and again, especially when feeling the need to be immersed in nature.

I got this as a gift for my mom, as it reminded me of the Dairy of an Edwardian Lady that she loved so much when I was a kid. Beautiful illustrations abound in this amazing work. It really is a stunning mix of art and writing. Awesome.

This is a fabulous book! The drawings are accurate and beautiful, and the scientific facts are interesting and informative. It is exquisite!!

This book is a real delight. Quite a bit longer than I expected, every page has a gorgeous new treat. Very impressed with this book, and glad I ordered it.

Bought as a gift for my niece and her kids, they are absolutely enchanted with the artwork, also they have been outside in the woods and meadows looking for the flora and fauna illustrated in the book.Also bought a copy for myself. The artwork is superb and the production quality of the book is excellent.

book jacket art is gorgeous. received it torn. book is expensive for what it is - then it was shipped damaged.disappointed.

Exceptional quality and to tier illustrations. Definitely a source of inspiration. The author is clearly a Steward of Nature.

This book is the work of Jo Brown, otherwise known as Bernoid on social media. The journal covers a vast array of wildlife found in the Devon (and obviously UK) countryside. Each page has nature notes to accompany each sketch and data such as the date and rough location. It's also features unique characteristics such as tippexed out text that shows how it is an individuals own work.I would highly recommend this as a treat for yourself or as a lovely gift for a nature lover.

This book is amazing, absolutely love it and it is educational too. Illustrations are beautiful and the cover is stunning (sleeve and under sleeve). Highly recommended, would make a lovely gift for yourself or anyone else. So glad I came across it.

This book is an absolute joy. Beautifully written and illustrated. It was bought as a Christmas present for myself but when it arrived I couldn’t hold back from looking inside and read it over the next few days. A must have for nature lovers.

I bought this for my wife who's a scientist and from Devon. She loved it! Really informative, and easy to dip in and out of. The illustrations are stunning - so detailed! I'd 100% recommend this for any nature lover and so pleased I stumbled across it.

The media could not be loaded.  I love this book. It is beautifully presented as Jo Brown's (author/illustrator) own personal nature diary. I loved that she presented so many varieties of fungi. Her descriptions are handwritten (a lost art in itself) and are clear and concise.This gorgeous book took me back to my childhood with my own nature diaries and drawings of wild creatures.I hope Jo punlishes more of her work, I would love to see British mammals, amphibians and reptiles in her next work, oh, and more fungi and spiders please, in fact any aspect of our wonderful natural environment will do ❤
