How one of the Britain's most prolific writers on railway subjects…kicked off an exciting Substack about Reading On Trains. Also: his new book The Moquette Mystery which brings its protagonist to the Isle of Wight.
For five decades, one man has dedicated his life to tracking, studying, and protecting the wild orchids of the Isle of Wight. But this is more than a book about orchids—it is about devotion, a labour of love, and a lifetime's achievement. At its heart is the story of Stephen Oakes-Monger, fondly known as “The Orchid Man”, whose passion for these rare and beautiful flowers has shaped his life and relationships. It is a journey of connection—between uncle and nephew, between a man and a woman drawn together by a love of the natural world, and between kindred spirits met on his orchid trail. Beyond discovery and documentation, this is also the story of a tireless campaigner. Stephen has fought to save Isle of Wight orchids from habitat destruction, roadside cutting, and neglect. His work stands as a testament to the power of one person's dedication to protecting something fragile, fleeting, and extraordinary. With vivid descriptions and photography, expert insights, and a deep well of personal experience, this book provides a guide to the island's orchids and the dedication of a man who has spent a lifetime pursuing them.
