What connects Robin Hood, the history of ink, fungi, Shakespeare and sorcery? In Oaklore, Jules Acton, an ambassador for The Woodland Trust, explores the incredibly diverse history of the ‘king of the woods’: from a source of food and shelter to its use in literature as a plot device and muse, its role as an essential ingredient in ink, and in mythology from across the British Isles as a sacred plant and precious resource. An unforgettable journey through the tangled roots of the oak’s story, and that of Britain itself.

 

Every purchase supports our work to protect, restore and create healthy, thriving woodland habitats for people and wildlife.
