Synopsis:

Beech trees reached Britain about 8000 years ago, and they were workhorses, not ornaments - fuel for Rome's glassworks; firewood for London; oars for the ships of Venice; raw material for furniture, cut and turned by 'bodgers'. This book is a personal investigation of the engimatic relationship that humans have with trees.
