Praise for HOLLOWAY: 'An impressionistic piece of landscape writing, Holloway evokes the sense that time is densely layered in these secret lanes; many people have trodden here, and their ghosts are still apparent in the deep tree-shaded paths' Financial Times 'The pleasures herein are almost intangible and they're certainly initially fleeting. Yet these pellucid tales of Dorset's deep-set lanes and their duvets of foliage will stay with you long into the summer dusk and may even encourage you to embark on your own investigation of England's ancient arteries' Metro 'A perfect miniature prose poem of a book, beautifully printed and published' William Dalrymple, Observer Books of the Year 'Glorious ... endearingly open-hearted' Barnaby Rogerson, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year
