Gossip from the Forest: The Tangled Roots of Our Forests and Fairytales by Sara Maitland

4.0

This is a hybrid book of non-fiction (forests and how we are connected to them) and fiction (fairy tales and how we are connected to them). Each chapter recounts a walk in a forest somewhere as well as weaving in history and practical forestry and musings on different topics. And then each chapter ends with a retelling of a familiar fairy tale. I enjoyed both bits and it made me want to go to a forest somewhere. Maybe Epping as that was in the book and is fairly nearby :)
