multitude of fans', Daily Mail

of landscape', Andrew Motion Financial Times
'Refreshing, droll, politically alert, occasionally self-mocking, he
has the enviable ability both to write historical overview and also to
slip into the woods like a dryad, bringing us back to the trees
themselves, their colours and lights and textures', Guardian
