Tree Lore

Sally Coulthard

£15.00

From druids' oaks to deadly yews, tempting apples to erotic peaches, humanity has, for thousands of years, imbued trees with spiritual and superstitious meaning. Trees have deep roots in our folklore and mythology. Almost everything about them - leaves, branches, roots and fruits - has provided a metaphor for our human needs and desires. From strength to resilience, shelter to sustenance, we have taken each species' unique qualities and turned them into fables, sayings and symbolism. Sally Coulthard branches out into the world of tree folklore and finds an enchanted place where nature and legend intertwine. Whether it's lovers' trysting trees, festive firs, boughs of peace or hangman's favourites, Sally explores 50 of the world's most iconic species and their intriguing myths and magical associations.
