Items related to Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees
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, builds hazel benders, and hunts bush-plums with aboriginal women.
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: in nature, in our souls, in our culture, and in our lives.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Covers and illustrations by David Nash, David Holmes, Mary Newcomb et al (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, sixth impression with '6' on copyright page. Decorated boards, no jacket as issued. Some edge wear and rubbing to top and bottom of covers and spine, nasty dirty fingerprints and some spotting to front and back covers, page fore edges and endpapers, corners rubbed and bruised, yellowing and damp cockling to page block, no inscriptions, internally fairly clean and tight, looks as if this book has accompanied its previous owner on several journeys through the woods in wind and rain! Not a great copy, reading only. 391pp, illustrated. 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, builds hazel benders, and hunts bush plums with aboriginal women. 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, in nature, in our souls, in our culture, and in our lives. Roger Deakin (1943-2006), kept notebooks in which he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations. Discursive, personal and often impassioned, they reveal the way he saw the world, whether it be observing the teeming ecosystem that was Walnut Tree Farm, thinking about the wider environment, walking in his fields, on Mellis Common or on his travels at home, or contemplating his past and his present life. Quite a scarce book, even in this compromised condition!. Seller Inventory # 011504
