This is not an ordinary book, and I doubt that a collection like this has been published before from a modern teenager. Every page is a beautiful collage of drawings, poetry, anecdotes, snippets of information and photographs, all by the author herself. It gives the sense of years of passion for Hampstead Heath and its birds, with a similar feeling to books like ‘diary of an Edwardian lady’. I would highly recommend it.

Amazon review

This is an extraordinary book – a remarkable achievement by a 16-year old girl. I absolutely loved everything about this book and only wish that it had been around to inspire me as a young teenager.

This book sees Natalie’s skills blossoming. It reveals a strong artistic streak that enables her to depict in illustrations, photographs and poetry what she sees with imagination and clarity. Most of all, it is a love affair with the place and the wildlife that have enchanted her since she was a child. I hope you too will be inspired by the heartfelt passion of Feathers and Eggshells.
