Wildwood

A beautiful and inspiring book which will appeal to fans of "Meetings With Remarkable Trees". At once autobiography, history, a traveller's tale and a work of natural history, it was Deakin's last book before his death in 2006. From the walnut tree at his Suffolk home, Deakin embarks on a quest that takes him through Britain, across Europe, to Central Asia and Australia, in search of what lies behind man's enduring connection with wood and trees.
