'An extraordinary and powerful book, full of vitality. Every page
celebrates the way traditional skills can shape who we are' Tristan
Gooley 'Lyrical, moving and never self-pitying . . . a lovely book'
The Times Ben Short has a successful career in advertising, a flat
in a trendy part of London, a flashy motorbike. But after years of
suffering with anxiety, he's a wreck. A drastic change is needed.
For a time, he finds solace working with a forester, then as an
apprentice to a Gypsy woodman, setting up home in a dilapidated
wagon with just a rescue dog for company. However, it is not until
he feels the call of the furnace, a glowing charcoal kiln in the
Dorset woods, that he can truly re-forge his thoughts, put the
years of suffering behind him, and start afresh by immersing
himself in the old ways of woods and fire. Exquisitely written and
deeply honest, Burn is a hopeful story of transformation, a
celebration of manual work and craft, and a love letter to the
English countryside. 'Beautifully written . . . reading it leaves
you feeling ruffled but alive' Mail on Sunday
