Oaklore by Jules Acton
The perfect gift for nature lovers and bookworms alike, Oaklore unveils how the mighty oak tree has shaped and influenced English literature, culture, and history.“What a joy to revel in the multifaceted world of our most iconic tree”
—Chris Beardshaw
“A treasure trove of information about the one tree everyone knows (or thinks they do), Oaklore is written with deep knowledge and an admirably light touch”
—Lev Parikian, author of Taking Flight
“Oaklore takes us on a botanical exploration, during which we cover vast ground. Acton introduces us to an array of biodiversity that live and flourish on these stately trees—from roots to canopy, she deftly illustrates how oaks are "doorways into other worlds." The science in Oaklore is rich and approachable, covering everything from oaks and birdsong to wasp factories in branches. I am in awe of the oaken world around us!”
—Lyndsie Bourgon, author of Tree Thieves
"A joyful and imaginative exploration of these totemic trees."
—Tristan Gooley, How to Read a Tree
