It is published in October 2021 by Oneworld. His previous book is the bestselling Footnotes: A Journey Round Britain in the Company of Great Writers (Oneworld, 2019) which received countless ecstatic reviews and is one of the most moving, elegiac and funny portraits of the British Isles published in some years. It was a Guardian Travel Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the Stanfords Book Awards 2020; the paperback was published in September 2020. Peter’s book Oak and Ash and Thorn: From Ancient Woods to the New Forests of Britain, was published by Oneworld in September 2017, also garnered countless great reviews, and was a Guardian Nature Book of the Year. His passion for protecting Britain’s woodlands shines through this book and informs much of what he writes about about. Peter’s first full-length book, To War With God (Mainstream, 2011) was a moving account of his grandfather’s time as an Anglican Chaplain on the Western Front and has been adapted for the stage by the Artless Theatre Company. Peter lives in London and can be found on Twitter most days. He is a director of the Urban Tree Festival and an ambassador for the Western Front Way.

Julian Fisher was born in what has been called the poorest postcode in Britain: B16 in inner-city Birmingham. His youth was marred by tragedy, severe emotional challenges and self-inflicted injury. But, while in hospital, conversations with a brave and extraordinary Iranian refugee altered forever his outlook on life. Her story sparked in Julian an ardent determination to strive for academic, personal and professional fulfilment.
He overcame long odds to win a place at Oxford University, where he studied PPE. Subsequently, he embarked on a varied career, quickly spurning the financial sector to work for the government in the field of international relations. Moving back into the private sector, he worked for a global private security company in various challenging locations, before founding his own private intelligence boutique, specialising in Africa. In 2017, he was lead trainer on the Channel 4 series, Spies.
Julian divides his time between the Welsh Borders, South London and Cape Town. But, for him, home is where the hound is.
