Critics Review
‘Lisa Schneidau has the cultivated and perfected the language and storytelling that we so greatly need for these times we are living through. If the trees themselves could speak I suspect the tales and wisdom contained within Tree Folk would resinate deeply with our arboreal friends. An essential book for lovers of trees, of nature and anyone who loves the songs, lore and legends of Britain and Ireland.’
– Matthew Shaw * Artist, author and composer. *‘Deeply enjoyable, wry and wise, Tree Folk is a joy and guide in uncertain times, that we can keep returning to. I treasured it. Rooted in real ecology and the folklore of the past, yet alive to our changing cultural heritage and the challenging weather of our future, this is the re-enchantment we can all invest in, root, branch, canopy, magic.’
– Nicola Chester * nature writer, author and regular columnist for The Guardian and the RSPB’s magazine. *Lisa Schneidau
