Tales From the Woods

0.0

Tales from the Woods is the latest collection of original poetry by poet, publisher and maverick multimillionaire Felix Dennis. Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour-washed pen and ink illustrations by artist Bill Sanderson, here are 50 evocative poems, celebrating trees and their part in our landscape, written by the biggest private planter of broadleaf trees in Britain. Imbued with a deep love of the countryside, a warm, lyrical touch, and an often wry commentary to each poem, the book comes with a foreword by the head of the Tree Council. It will be published with Dennis's normal panache and accompanied by endorsements by his many supporters. Lauded by the likes of Tom Wolfe and John Walsh, Tales from the Woods makes an elegant addition to poetry lovers' shelves.
