Drawn to Nature, encounters with Irish Wildlife

I am thrilled to announce the recent publication of my new book Drawn to Nature, published by Gill Books. This book is a little window into how my soul; the joy, the serenity and the contentment that can be gleaned from the world around us. I have spent my life being drawn into nature, so it was like a calling to write a this book; the cumulative effect of a lifetime doing what I love. We launched the book in Hodges Figgis a few weeks ago, and the response from the public has been phenomenal. Here are some of the lovely wonderful words of appreciation…

“A truly magnificent ode to Irish Nature. beautifully observed…a book for our times”
Mary Robinson, Former President of Ireland

“Don’s passion for nature and art opens our eyes to the beauty which surrounds us. Like the best teachers, he leads us gently not just to discover new worlds, but inward to our own selves”
Gabriel Byrne, Irish Actor

It has been a real pleasure hearing from the readers and seeing their delight at my drawings, stories and poems in the book. I want to thank everyone who made it along to the launch and all the folks who have come along to the various book signings, events and broadcastings I have been involved with over the last few weeks. I must say, I am thoroughly enjoying the journey this books is taking me on, a lovely way to spend the lead up to Christmas. The book can be purchased in your local bookshop or if you are living outside of Ireland it can be purchased online too. I do hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed creating it. I want to thank Gill Books and the amazing team there who helped bring this book to fruition, as they say, team work makes the dream work. Finally I want to say a special thanks to all the Irish booksellers out there for the amazing work you do. You are keeping the joy of reading alive in every generation enriching our lives and ensuring Ireland’s heritage of the arts remains a strong and steady beating drum in our culture and society.
