Fantastic. There's no fluff, no messing about, no wishy-washy kiddie's stuff, just proper adventure and meaning and love.

My son says it’s brilliant, and that I should read it too. Who am I to argue.

I have a couple of Max Leonard books on my reading list. This is not one of them, but this is the one I found in the library, so it'll do for now! Initial reading is positive, with funny turns of phrase.

Ooh, too much, too soon. I'm sure for experienced woodworkers it's a fun list of projects, but for me it's a list of complicated stuff and too many expensive tools. It puts me off a fair bit.

I only recently noticed that Barn the Spoon has written more books.

Good to re-read it for inspiration and encouragement.

Re-reading it, after having bought a couple of excellent hand-carved spoons.

Well written and heartfelt. Sometimes hard to continue, not because of the writing but because of the relentless bad news when it comes to active travel. But I'm glad I continued, especially now there is hopeful news coming from the new Labour government.

I like Laura’s journalism and podcast appearances, and she knows her stuff, so I’m interested in this book.

@mouse Ooh, have fun. I hope you enjoy it (I did). It's good to read it now, before the upcoming film gets released, and you can say you're cool because you read it before it was mega-famous.
