BESTSELLING GIFT BOOK - FIRST EDITION SOLD OUT IN THREE WEEKS

 

Nothing beats the companionable crackle of an open fire. Fires invite us to sit and share stories or watch in contemplative silence. We feel drawn to the flickering flames, the gentle curls of aromatic smoke and reassuring radiant heat.

From campfires to woodburners, bonfires to open hearths, this book will get you back in touch with your ancient firemaking instincts.  £10
