Uncover the myths, legends, and secrets of the world's most iconic trees. Did you know that laurel is said to protect against snakebites and shield against witchcraft? Or that yews are often planted near graveyards to keep the devil out? Across cultures and centuries, trees have stood as guardians of life, inspiring stories that connect us to nature, spirituality, and tradition. The Folklore of Trees brings these tales together in a stunning, giftable hardcover featuring a foreword by acclaimed naturalist, Chris Packham. Inside, you'll explore 36 legendary species from around the globe, each paired with an intricate illustration and rich cultural context. You'll discover:
- The Major Oak, said to shelter Robin Hood, and the baobabs of Madagascar, revered for their longevity.
- Sacred trees of Celtic, Norse, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Buddhist, and Indigenous traditions.
- Fascinating myths behind olive branches of peace, dragon blood trees that bleed red sap and Japanese cherry blossoms symbolizing life's impermanence.
- Seasonal customs, protective charms, and superstitions.
- A compact, beautifully designed format, perfect for gifting or personal reflection.
Whether you're a nature lover, folklore enthusiast, or simply curious about the stories rooted in our landscapes and forests, this book is your invitation to wander the cultural canopy.
