Robert Macfarlane on vivid places and the words they conjure up: Essex, John Alec Baker and a peregrine falcon. From 2015.
Robert Macfarlane visits some inspiring places, to meet the people and 'collect' the words that evoke the area.
One day he sees a 'quick dark curve' - and recalls a particular bird of prey, made majestic in print by John Alec Baker.
