The book focuses on his life at his cottage, Heron's Mead in Hampshire, covering the ten years in which he created a pool, three little islands, a boathouse and some bridges and observes with delight the wildlife that this attracted in - the lively fish, coots, moorhens, ducks, swans, geese, herons, cormorants and many others. The book evokes the quiet pleasures and the hilarious escapades that characterised his life there. It is a portrait, in words and pictures of a garden in rural England that became a wildlife sanctuary. It is also the story of how one man realised a childhood dream. 'A Plank Bridge by a Pool' was first published in 1978. For the Medlar Edition the text has been re-set and re-designed and all the artwork has been re-scanned to make a beautiful new edition.
