MEDIA REVIEWS
Some superb nature writing ... display[ing] the beauty and vulnerability of these regions
Some real talent - [here are] writers who not only know their subject, but who can also discuss it with colour and elegance
A glorious taste of the cold south in all its bewildering, vengeful complexity
