Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees by Roger Deakin

3.0

Less of a book than a place you hang out for a while. It’s quietly lovely. I’d heard lots about Roger Deakin in the writings of Robert Macfarlane, a friend of his who clearly held him in high regard and took a lot of inspiration from the form of Wildwood - a book-length riffing on a theme, beginning in England, travelling around the world and circling home again, sprinkled with literary quotes and allusions. I think for my money I prefer Macfarlane’s take on this, but Wildwood is still a nice read and I suspect I will enjoy Waterlog even more.
