SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on an adhesive label on the title page, the popular broadcaster and respected advocate for the natural world Kate Humble takes us on a journey into different peoples' lives and homes to consider what it is about a place that makes us feel we are truly at 'home'. Is it the rooms we occupy, or do the people, possessions and memories matter most? Her book combines rich, complex and deeply personal stories of people living in home-built cabins and woodland hideaways, historic mansions and remote islands, war-torn cities and even outer space with Kate Humble's personal reflections, alongside inspiration from the natural world to illuminate the vital components, large or small, that make a home a home. Chapter headings include The Pink Sofa, The Pistol Shrimp and the Goby, A Garage Full of Trainers, Dignity and Trees, A Stuffed Duck and Gold Teeth, Kindness, Carpets and Curtains, Birds and Flowers, Memories and Feelings, and A Scottish Glen and Pieces of Blanket among them. As Dorothy told us in The Wizard of Oz 'There's no place like home'. 289pp. Pagemarker.
