LATEST REVIEWS​​​

 

"Negus crafts an impassioned, informed, thorny and eloquent broadside from the heart of the hedge."

Prof Norma Clarke, Times Literary Supplement​

​

My 'Book of the Year' is the delightfully eclectic Words From The Hedge."

Jamie Blackett, Country Life​​

​

"Richard Negus' wonderful new book is an important, funny and passionate defence of the British countryside...

What we have in Words From The Hedge is a manifesto for a robust countryside that puts practical excellence ahead of theoretical posturing, and it is long overdue. If a better book on the working British landscape is written this year, or this decade for that matter, we are fortunate indeed."​

Roger Morgan-Grenville, The Critic​​
