'Some five years ago, I sought solace from the ways of the world by stepping into the embrace of an ancient oak tree . . . A colossus of a tree, it would have been a sapling when Magna Carta was signed. From the first meeting, there grew a strange sense of attachment I did not consciously recognise until I later began to realise the significance that trees, and oak trees especially, can have in our lives.'James Canton spent two years sitting with and studying the Honywood Oak.
He examines how our long-standing dependency on oak trees has developed and morphed into myth and legend.The Oak Papers is a stunning, meditative and healing book about the lessons we can learn from the natural world, if only we slow down enough to listen. Initially visiting the tree for escape and solitude, in time he learns to study it more closely.
