Tim Dee Press Reviews
'Heavy with poetic resonance... [Dee] pushes the boundaries of nature writing, creating a form that is lyrical but deeply alert to ecological crisis'. -- Miriam Darlington BBC Wildlife
'First-rate evocation of the natural world merges with an elegiac note in these rich stories of the soil. ' -- Independent
['Dee's] descriptions are constantly inventive; wry and fearless... A project as expansive, and as mesmerizing, as a fenland sky.' -- Mary Crockett, Scotsman
'Dee's writing is often quietly poetic, with the spirit of Gerard Manley Hopkins hovering overhead.' -- Jon Day, Daily Telegraph
'Four Fields is an enthralling and unexpected book - or four short books - about what we have made of the natural world. The language itself is rich and loamy. There is evidence of much thought here, as well as a naturalist's profound observation. It is proof that really, there is no such thing as nature writing - Dee gives us the wide world and everything in it, including ourselves and all our works.' -- Kathleen Jamie, Guardian
