Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees by Roger Deakin

4.0

I enjoyed this book which I read over four visits to my dad's house in England. Reading it was a bit of a slog at times as parts seemed lengthy and dry. However, the slog was worthwhile and the section about his travels to Australia and central Asia were particularly enjoyable.

I would love to visit the ur-apple and ur-walnut forests as they sound fascinating. In this section of the book, I enjoyed his description of the food and the cooking. walnuts in syrup sound delicious.
