Roger Deakin's Wildwood is a much loved classic of nature
writing. Wildwood is about the element wood, as it exists in nature, in
our souls, in our culture and our lives. From the walnut tree at his
Suffolk home, Roger Deakin embarks upon a quest that takes him through
Britain, across Europe, to Central Asia and Australia, in search of what
lies behind man's profound and enduring connection with wood and with
trees. Meeting woodlanders of all kinds, he lives in shacks and
cabins, travels in search of the wild apple groves of Kazakhstan, goes
coppicing in Suffolk, swims beneath the walnut trees of the
Haut-Languedoc, and hunts bush plums with Aboriginal women in the
outback.
Perfect for fans of Robert Macfarlane and Colin
Tudge, Roger Deakin's unmatched exploration of our relationship with
trees is autobiography, history, traveller's tale and incisive work in
natural history. It will take you into the heart of the woods, where we
go 'to grow, learn and change ''Enthralling' Will Self.
