About the Author
Oliver Rackham (1939-2015) was the pre-eminent botanist of his generation, whose work focused on trees, woodland and landscape. He was the author of many books including The History of the Countryside. His books The Ash Tree and The Ancient Woods of the Helford River are both published by Little Toller in the Oliver Rackham Library.
With understated humour and his unusual insights, Oliver Rackham reveals their histories, in this new book, published in collaboration with The Woodland Trust. He was drawn to oddities and mysteries of trees and landscapes: bell-pits, a strange dwarf oakwood, towering gnarled beeches, and the famous rare Tintern spurge. 'Dark on the horizon', he writes, 'is the high ridge of Coed Gwent, Wentwood', and he explores it with fascination.
