Description
'Meetings with Remarkable Trees' by Thomas Pakenham is a beautifully illustrated celebration of some of the world’s most extraordinary trees, combining botanical history, travel writing and photography. Travelling across Britain, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, Pakenham documents remarkable specimens distinguished by their age, size, unusual forms or historical associations. His accounts explore the trees’ botanical characteristics and the stories, legends and cultural traditions connected to them, accompanied by his own photographs that capture their distinctive shapes and grandeur. First published in 1996, this engaging work offers a fresh perspective on the natural world and will appeal to tree enthusiasts, gardeners, naturalists and readers interested in landscape and history.
