John Fowles' writing life was dominated by trees. From the orchards
of his childhood in suburban Essex,to the woodlands of wartime
Devon, to his later life on the Dorset coast, trees filled his
imagination and enriched his many acclaimed and best-selling
novels.Told through his lifelong relationship with trees, blending
autobiography, literary criticism, philosophy and nature writing,
The Tree is a masterly, powerful work that laid the literary
foundations for nature-as-memoir, a genre which has seen recent
flourishings in Roger Deakin's Wildwood, Richard Mabey's Nature
Cure, Robert Macfarlane's The Old Ways and Helen Macdonald's H is
for Hawk.As lyrical and precise as his novels, The Tree is a
provocative meditation on the connection between the natural world
and human creativity, and also a rejection of the idea that nature
should be tamed for human purpose. Now, nearly forty years after
its first publication, Little Toller is proud to republish this
classic book as a special hardback, featuring a new foreword by
William Fiennes and especially commissioned wood engravings,in the
spirit of The Man Who Planted Trees.This edition will be an
important addition to Fowles' published works and appeal to the
growing audience for new nature writing as a classic of the genre.
