Enchanted ground : growing roots in a broken world

Lovatt, Steven2025
Book
When Steven Lovatt's grandmother died, he lost not only a beloved family member but also his last link to the way of life she had represented: rooted in place, socially democratic, ecologically rich. Cut loose from the past and confronted with a present missing even the birds of his childhood, Steven's mind cracked. Drawing on field work, local library archives and oral history, as well as dreams, diaries and visions, 'Enchanted Ground' charts a fractured course from breakdown to belonging. For if he is to survive, Steven realises he must set out, like a pilgrim, across the motorways and monoculture wastes of Britain in search of enchanted ground - and those who have begun to rebuild it.
