Tim Dee was born in Liverpool in 1961. He has worked as a BBC radio producer for twenty years and divides his life between Bristol and Cambridge. He is the author of THE RUNNING SKY (2009) and FOUR FIELDS (2013). His new book, LANDFILL, will be published by Little Toller Books in early 2017.

The Guardian said about FOUR FIELDS: "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."
