Description
The Earth needs Friends!
Do you sometimes feel that cities, science and technology have replaced the world of nature and have become our real, even ‘natural’, environment? Then think again. Without constant fresh air, human beings suffocate within minutes. Without regular supplies of clean water, we die of thirst and disease. Without sunshine and soil, we can grow no food. Our bodies are a blend of Air, Water, Fire and Earth. Our minds need to appreciate nature’s immense, wild beauty, its underlying order and the existence of other creatures. Yet we are poisoning our bodies and minds and destroying the world we live in.
That is why we need these stories of wisdom and adventure from the four corners of the Earth: they capture the spirit of the natural world and make us feel part of it. With extracts from authors such as Roald Dahl, Terry Jones and Gerald Durrell, together with three new short stories by Philippa Pearce, Elizabeth Berridge and Jan Mark, this captivating collection will cast new light on the world around you – a world in need of Friends.
