Oak and Ash and Thorn: The Ancient Woods and New Forests of Britain by Peter Fie

Description: Oak and Ash and Thorn by Peter Fiennes Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Dazzling, passionate nature writing – a celebration of Britains woods and forests and a rousing call to fight for them Publisher Description The magic and mystery of the woods and trees are embedded in our culture, from ancient folklore to modern literature. They offer us refuge, a place to play and a place to think. They are the generous providers of fuel, timber, energy and life. They let us dream of other ways of living. Yet we now face a future where taking a walk in the woods is consigned to the tales we tell our children. Threatened by development, neglect, climate chaos and ignorance, they are emptier – of flora and fauna, but also of people – than they have ever been. Immersing himself in the beauty of Britains woodlands and the art and writing they have inspired, Peter Fiennes explores our long relationship with the woods and the sad and violent story of how so many have been lost. Just as we need them, perhaps – for once – our woods need us too. But who, if anyone, is looking out for them? Author Biography Peter Fiennes is the author of To War with God, a moving account of his grandfathers service in the First World War. As a publisher for Time Out, he published their city guides, as well as books about Britains countryside and seaside. He lives in Wandsworth, south-west London.
