About the Author:

Over the past few years, Villager Jim has been avidly photographing the natural world in his own garden as well as in the beautiful countryside that surrounds his home in the Derbyshire Peak District. Amongst his subjects are pictures of his own beloved Labrador dogs as well as farmyard animals and the natural flora, fauna and spectacular landscapes around him. Having built up a huge international presence on Facebook, Jim’s thousands of followers enjoy his out of the ordinary compositions and the humorous angle of his captions. Jim has appeared on BBC’s Countryfile in 2014 and 2016, and was the editor’s choice in the British Wildlife Photography Awards in 2013. Winning a Springwatch competition (beating 50,000 others), his images are often shown by the Springwatch and Autumnwatch team. He is also an official Designated Photography Partner for the Peak District tourism board. In spite of his popularity, Villager Jim remains anonymous, while his photographs speak for themselves.

Review:

“We’ve been following Villager Jom for ages on Facebook, and always been impressed with the quality of his images and their subject matter. This new book, published by Pen and Sword, is a triumph of wildlife photography, of a huge variety of garden birds, together with wild and domestiacted animals in Jim’s “garden”, which looks to be fairly substantial! A stunning book, a brilliant reminder of how you should always keep your camera handy...” (Books Monthly)

...a truly stunning book of beautiful full color photographs...His quirky captions capture the mood and spontaneous character of each individual shot and are an essential element of what makes Villager Jim's pictures so special. (Midwest Book Review)
