Description
The Oak Papers is a thought-provoking exploration of the significance of trees, particularly oak trees, in our lives. James Canton spent two years studying a remarkable Honywood Oak, which has been a witness to history, from the time of Magna Carta to the present day.
As he delved deeper into the tree's history, Canton began to uncover the ways in which our long-standing dependency on oak trees has evolved into myth and legend. This book is a meditation on the lessons we can learn from the natural world, if we slow down enough to listen.
Partly a personal journey, partly a exploration of the natural world, The Oak Papers is a book that invites readers to reflect on their relationship with the environment and the wisdom that can be gained from slowing down and observing the world around us.
