Dixe Wills is an author and journalist, mostly writing green travel pieces for The Guardian.[1][2] His previous books are The Z-Z of Great Britain, Places to Hide in England, Scotland and Wales, New World Order, and The Armchair Naturalist (as Johnson P. Johnson), all published by Icon Books.[2]

In April 2010 his addition to the Cool Camping series, Tiny Campsites, was published by Punk Publishing.[1] The book features 75 campsites across England, Scotland and Wales, all of an acre in size or under.[3] Wills has said: "A small campsite will always triumph over a large one in the same way that a cosy boutique will ever prevail over a warehouse-like chain store. It's a matter of soul."[4] His book Tiny Stations was the inspiration for the 2016 travel documentary series Paul Merton's Secret Stations.[5]
