The New Sylva by Gabriel Hemery
The new, gift-able edition of this sumptuous, classic, authoritative book about British trees and woodland.
An excellent successor to Sylva, well written and full of interesting information.. The illustrations are magnificent, pen drawings by the great tree artist Sarah Simblet. She has the rare gift of depicting a recognisable leafless tree, a gift that was denied to artists Poussin and Gainsborough * Oliver Rackham, Spectator *
Sumptuous ... exquisite drawings grace almost every spread. The reader will be beguiled into consuming large sections in a single sitting. It's also a book for dipping into. ... planting trees is an affirmation of faith in the future, and this book will inspire new generations of tree planters, just as the original did * Gardens Illustrated *
A book that proclaims its virtues with quiet dignity * Sunday Times *
Glorious * Sunday Telegraph *
Beautiful, useful and inspirational * BBC Wildlife Book of the Month *
Exquisite ... eloquently written and beautifully illustrated * The Lady *
Gorgeous, precious and important * Resurgence & Ecologist *
Unparalleled understanding of our trees * Mail on Sunday *
A delight on every page * Evening Standard *
