This volume is presented in the hope that the peace and
healing that nature brought Princess Irene of the Netherlands will also help
the reader realise that we are all part of a larger whole. The sister of Queen
Beatrix of Holland, she shares her vulnerability and love of nature, which
supported her throughout her turbulent life as a royal Princess and later her
divorce and life as a single parent. At these times she turned to her friends
in nature for refuge and solace, and there found peace and understanding. The
last part of the book describes simple exercises which anyone should be able to
benefit from.
