    Dixe Wills

    Dixe Wills is the author of a shelf-wearying host of books about Britain including The Z-Z of Great Britain, Tiny Islands and Tiny Churches. His volumes on the natural world include At Night, The Armchair Naturalist and The Wisdom of Nature. You’ll find more of his words in The Guardian’s Travel section where he muses on the joys of eco-friendly, outdoorsy, non-flying holidays. On account of his long-standing allergy to tuxedos, he's careful to ensure his output isn’t quite good enough to be nominated for awards, so do manage your expectations accordingly.
