The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession
by Amy Stewart
This book is the perfect antidote to a cold winter and a gloom-filled newsfeed. Amy Stewart, New York Times bestselling author of The Drunken Botanist, give us fifty gorgeously illustrated vignettes of people whose lives have been transformed by their relationship with trees.
Why do they collect trees? Where do they do it? How do they do it? Each interview is short (just a couple of pages) but, as Amy Stewart observes, once you start asking people about the things they do out of curiosity and passion, you're in for an intimate conversation.
‘These mesmerising trees, and the inspiring people they’ve transformed, will alter your perspective and give you hope.’ Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees
