“[Dee] is incapable of writing a dull sentence…very good indeed… A first-rate evocation of the natural world merges with an elegiac note in these rich stories of the soil."——獨立報
“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.”——衛報
“Dee's writing is often quietly poetic, with the spirit of Gerard Manley Hopkins hovering overhead."——每日電訊報
