Why read it?
1 author picked Wildwood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was the book that made me look again at trees, seeing them for the incredible organisms that they are. Deakin goes on an amazing adventure from Suffolk to Kazakhstan, Australia, and beyond, trying to get to the heart of why wood and trees have such profound meaning for us.

From Edward's list on to rewild the mind.
