The second in four beautiful gift books that take you through the rhythms of the seasons from beloved printmaker and illustrator, Angela Harding.

'The wildflower bank outside my window hums and buzzes. At midday, the summer sun spreads the perfume of roses and honeysuckle to every corner.'

'Summer is a time of changing colours and changing light. It is when the sharp acid green of spring growth deepens and darkens. Lengthening days and stronger light bring change to our garden; it is transformed into a tapestry of colour. The wildflower bank outside my window hums and buzzes. These insects feed on pink and white campion, cornflowers, speedwell, scarlet pimpernel and poppies. At midday the summer sun spreads the perfume of rose and honeysuckle to every corner, bees become drowsy and drunk on these scents. It is then, when the days are long, the garden becomes a place of drama and summer hums.'

Summer's Hum is the second book in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding. Each title in this pocket-sized series takes readers on a journey through the seasons, reflecting Angela's observations as the nature around her transforms and evolves over the course of a year. Taking in landscapes across the UK including views from her home studio in Rutland, to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere.

Featuring over thirty of Angela Harding's favourite prints alongside observations taken from her books A Year Unfolding, Wild Light and Still Waters & Wild Waves, each short, small book in this seasonal collection is a beautiful new way to enjoy Angela's work and celebrate nature and wildlife across the UK at all times of year.
