Beechcombings: The Narratives of Trees

 
After the somewhat vague meanderings of Nature Cure, Richard Mabey pulls of a brilliant book that is both a pleasure to read and a real education without ever feeling heavy. The use of language is once again a triumph in evoking the feel and splendour of our beech woodlands. My only real gripes are that whilst the book is a much better and structured read the ending does seem to come about rather suddenly and that my favourite rural author, H. J. Massingham, is dismissed as 'romantic'. Well ... read more.

Written by Richard Mabey. Published 04 October 2007. rrp £20.00. Published by Chatto and Windus.Hardcover.
