The Fields of Noon by Sheila Burnford review
A review praising The Fields of Noon for its outdoor essayism and humor. It highlights Burnford’s language, shifts from nature writing to dry self deprecating humor, and passages on spring in Canada and Scotland. The piece notes anecdotes of mushroom hunting duck calling archeology fishing dogs and a tender memory of an old dog.
