Críticas:

This is a book that will help to increase public awareness of some of our significant and fragile heritage-tree specimens from across the British Isles...one for the ancient-tree lover to have in the library to dip into for inspiration and historical facts. --The Garden, December issue

Reseña del editor:

A lavishly illustrated tribute to Britain's oldest, largest and most famous trees told through legends, history and literature. Trees have always inspired awe and wonder and some of our ancient trees have been standing for over a thousand years. In this fascinating and lovingly researched book the author selects the most interesting of them and compares archive photographs and engravings with contemporary colour photographs. They include the legendary Royal Oak that King Charles I hid in while being chased by Roundhead troops and The Betty Kenny yew tree that is believed to have inspired the nursery rhyme 'Rock a bye baby'. There is a gazetteer of where to see all the trees, including in various National Trust properties.
