The Richard Jefferies Society and
The White Horse Bookshop Writer's Prize has been awarded to British
palaeontologist, natural historian, writer and broadcaster Richard Fortey for The Wood for the Trees (William Collins).
From a short list of five, the panel judged that the book best met the
criterion of reflecting themes or topics broadly
consistent with Jefferies’ writing.
