'A beautiful book... full of intense light and colour, extraordinary glimpses, moving insights and subtle humour' Richard Kerridge, author of Cold Blood

As the summer draws to a close, a few snow beds - some as big as icebergs - survive in the Scottish Highlands. Christopher Nicholson celebrates these great, icy relics through a personal meditation on their significance. A book full of vivid descriptions and anecdotes, Among the Summer Snow explores the meanings of nature, beauty and mortality in the twenty-first century.

'Beautiful writing that transcends form to arrive somewhere improbable and compelling' Paul Evans, Guardian
