Description
The Immortal Yew by Tony Hall explores the fascinating world of ancient yew trees in Britain and Ireland. With over 75 profiles of publicly accessible yews, this book delves into their mythology, folklore, and history. Yew trees are renowned for being among the oldest living organisms in Europe, with some individuals estimated to be over 2,000 years old. These evergreen trees have been imbued with significance throughout history, particularly in churchyards where they often grow alongside ancient sites of Druid or Celtic worship. The book features photographs of these stunning yew trees, each with its own story to tell, from sprawling trunks to ancient individuals propped up. This is a wonderful souvenir and celebration of our native yew trees, perfect for dipping into and discovering the history behind these remarkable living figures.
