Description

Julian Roup's love letter to Ashdown Forest is a deeply personal and evocative memoir that explores the beauty and significance of this East Sussex landscape.

Over the past forty years, Roup has lived and ridden in the ten square miles of country he calls his Kingdom, developing a profound connection with the land and its inhabitants. His writing is a form of 'moving meditation', taking readers on a journey beneath the surface of the forest and its networks of fungi, where the trees seem to speak.

Through his observations of the forest's streams, woods, and heathlands, Roup shares his passion for horses and the people who inhabit this special place, including the literary residents who have called Ashdown Forest home. This is a book that will leave a soft glow on the landscape when you are gone, a lasting impression of a place that has been cherished and explored with love and passion.
