Where the Wild Winds Are is full to the brim with learning, entertainment, description, scientific fact and conjectural fiction. It is travel writing in excelsis. - Literary Review
A thrilling and gorgeous tale, packed with meteorological wonder.A wonderful book; reading it is like being introduced to a gang of complex characters by an entertaining and erudite host. It has been a joy getting to know them better and in all their moods.An ingenious idea that [Hunt] carries off with panache and aplomb. An extremely gifted writer … his writing here has agreeable echoes of Leigh Fermor’s evocative prose. - New EuropeanNick Hunt’s writing is powerful, playful, searching and often strikingly original. As he walks through the world, his journeys always reveal more than they set out to find.Praise for Walking the Woods and the Water - -A glorious book, rich with insight and wit, about walking his way both across and into contemporary Europe. A book about gifts, modernity, endurance and landscape, it represents a fine addition to the literature of the leg.Illuminating - Wall Street JournalAbout The Author
