Writer Esther Woolfson brings to life the diverse forms that live close to cities. Woolfson uses her own life, home, garden and city of Aberdeen to write about the animals that live among us – gulls, starlings, pigeons, sparrows, rats, squirrels, spiders and insects. And she meditates on the value we place on the natural world and individual species and the ways in which man and creatures live together in cities.

Woolfson has won awards for her nature writing and for her short stories, which have appeared in many anthologies and have been read on BBC Radio 4.
