BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 10th January 2023
Nick Hayes, author of the Book of Trespass, nominates Roger Deakin.
Roger Deakin was the author of two books - one of them, Wildwood, was published after his death. But his impact on nature writing and activism has been immense.
Matthew Parris travels along the Thames to meet Nick Hayes - illustrator and author of The Book of Trespass - to discuss the life of Roger Deakin. They also enjoy a naked swim. Joining them, in his pants, is Patrick Barkham. His new biography of Roger Deakin is published this year.
The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.
