A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week ‘Magnificent’ Guardian
‘Remarkable … A compact classic!’ Bill McKibben ‘I learned
something new – and found something amazing – on every page’
Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See Fens, bogs,
swamps and marine estuaries are the earth’s most desirable and
dependable resources. Here, Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx
brings her witness and research to the vitally important role they
play in preserving the environment, and their systemic destruction
in the pursuit of profit. Travelling from the fens of
sixteenth-century England to America’s Okefenokee National
Wildlife Refuge, Fen, Bog and Swamp is both a revelatory history
and an urgent plea for wetland reclamation, from one of our
greatest prose stylists. ‘A rousing call to action’ Esquire
‘Sparklingly furious … it has a profoundly positive message’
Richard Mabey, Telegraph ‘This haunting tribute … is a pleasure
to read’ Financial Times
