At once autobiography, history, a traveller’s tale and a work of natural history, Wildwood is a lyrical and fiercely intimate evocation of the spirit of trees, by the author of the acclaimed and much loved Waterlog.
A quest through Britain, across Europe, to Central Asia and Australia, in search of what lies behind our profound and enduring connection with wood and with trees.
