How to Cook a Fox
Selected by the Bookshop
As the fieldfare leaves, the swift returns, and spring shifts inexorably into summer, many people get the urge to go into the woods and gather scran for their lunch or tea. These helpful books offer guidance on how to do so without mistakenly eating anything poisonous. Patience Grey also offers information about how to cook a fox. And no amateur forager should venture into the forest without (professional forager) Richard Osmond’s marvellous 2017 poetry collection Useful Verses, one of the rare books from our poetry collection which does exactly what it says on the tin.
