Description
Many books have been written about the intertwined history of
humanity and the landscape, but probably none quite like this one.
Mark Walker combines his knowledge of the natural world with his own
theories, all served up with a hefty dose of rural Somerset charm.
He tells the story of his native landscape through the eyes of three tree
characters, the oak, the ash and the hazel, who describe their experiences
with humans and other animal and plant species from the time they first
arrived on these shores to the present day. Woven into this is the story
of his own life, and how his fate was shaped by his relationship with the
trees.
Mark’s laid-back attitude to life shines through in the gentle, humorous
but often lyrical style of his writing. This is an enjoyable, light-hearted
and thought-provoking ramble through time, and you may never see
the countryside in quite the same light again.
Mark Walker is a horticulturist, garden designer, and proper down to
earth gardener and nature lover. He lives in Somerset.
All book profits going to YACWAG, Yatton And Congresbury Wildlife Action Group.
