Lewis-Stempel is one of the best of the new generation of nature writers, an oak himself in that particular corner of the literary forest. As a working farmer, from a long line of Herefordshire farmers, he has daily exposure to his source material. In books such as Meadowland, The Running Hare and, most recently, The Wood, he has distilled his knowledge and his enthusiasm into a style that is as rich and earthy as its subject.
Philip Marsden, Spectator
Our greatest nature writer

Helen Brown, Daily Mail
A beautiful object and a very British story written with real lyricism - some of the finest sentences I've read.
Neil Oliver, BBC Radio 4: A Good Read
