The Peregrine: The Hill of Summer & Diaries: The Complete Works of J. A. Baker by J.A. Baker

The most gorgeous and transcendent nature prose I've ever read, and a definite desert island pick for me. Herzog called it "ecstasy in observation" and I think that is a perfect description of what Baker's writing offers. I've read The Peregrine several times, and just got around to reading The Hill of Summer, which is less intense but still full of the poetry that makes The Peregrine so great.
