'Clever, pretty, fun and informative - what more can a reader ask
for?' Sara Maitland, author of Gossip From the Forest We're
surrounded in cities by trees, quiet colossuses that most of us
don't know by name. Does that matter? It's certainly possible to
appreciate a tree for its beauty, its shade and its shelter without
knowing whether it's an alder, an elder, a lime or a beech. But
look harder, and we begin to see the beauty beneath the bark - the
tales of how trees are integral to medicine and art as they are
furniture and firewood; the stories of why wild figs grow on the
banks of Sheffield's rivers and why the ash tree is touched with
magic and mischief. As well as being an illustrated guide that will
help you identify some of the species you see around town every
day, Sylvan City is also a potted-journey through our cities' woody
places and a literary hunt for where their wild things are.
Inviting readers on an intricately illustrated journey into the
urban forest, Sylvan City is both a practical guide to identifying
twenty of the most common trees standing sentry on our street
corners, and a lyrical, anecdotal treasure trove of facts and
history, culture and leafy lore.
