Tim Dee has brought together a wondrous array of talent for this life-affirming, often magical, anthology of nature writing.
Katharine Norbury, Observer
This superb anthology is a paean to spirit of place in dislocated times... And it is a trove.
Barbara Kiser, Nature
The anthology for me became a kind of pilgrimage: Canterbury Tales with Tim Dee leading his merry band to the new Common Ground site in Dorset... This collection about how to live lightly in the world and care deeply for its future… is overwhelmingly a message of hope.
Sue Brooks, Caught by the River **Book of the Month**
In Ground Work, Tim Dee has collated… An amazing vein of prose from some of the best nature and landscape writers around… A truly excellent book.
Paul Cheney, Nudge
Profoundly moving… delightful… extremely beautifully written.
Sara Maitland, Tablet
Dee, who has the eyes of a birdwatcher, the ears of a radio producer and the soul of a poet, has gathered… this wonderful anthology.
Michael Kerr, Daily Telegraph
The book has enjoyable, wonderfully evocative and deeply thoughtful contributions that should be widely read.
Rob Hume, Birdwatch
There is a great deal that is beautiful, and thought-provoking, in this collection
Erica Wagner, New Statesman
[T]hese rich and varied essays bring together people from diverse backgrounds and geographies
