Did you know that at one time the wood of the rowan tree was kept as a pocket charm against rheumatism? Or that the ancient Greeks believed trees possessed wood spirits, called dryads, that took the form of young women? Or that you can make whisky from the humble blackberry and absinthe from wormwood? This beautifully illustrated, eclectic book contains a mixture of fact and fiction about woodlands and forests, including information about flora and fauna, woodland crafts, tree identification, foraging advice, folklore, mythology and much more.

 

Every purchase helps us protect, restore and create healthy, thriving woodland habitats and improve access to nature for everyone.
