Robin Mackenzie has created 14 original wood engravings especially for this edition. His work is inspired by the landscape, and he spent time at Nethercott Farm sketching on location for the book. He then returned to his studio to create the most beautiful wood engravings of scenes from the farm which have been printed off the wood blocks in dark velvety black ink to stunning effect.
