BEECHCOMBINGS (RICHARD MABEY LIBRARY)

Through the lens of just one species, the beech tree, Richard Mabey creates an urgent, passionate narrative for trees, weaving his own wood-words from his life, from youthful hunter-gatherer, Romantic teenager to beechwood owner-manager. At heart a plea to abandon the urge to dominate the wild. First published in 2007, this new hardback edition includes a foreword by the author, and celebrates Richard Mabey’s place as Britain’s foremost nature writer.
