Oaklore is my first book. It was written out of my astonishment that our oak trees help 2,300 other species to survive. So I went on a nature ramble to meet some of these characters, the species associated with the oak. And, as that includes us – we humans – it became a culture ramble too. 

Here are some things people have said about it:

‘As rich, satisfying and revelatory as a long walk in the woods.’ Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees

‘What a joy to revel in the multifaceted world of our most iconic tree.’ author, garden designer and plantsman, Chris Beardshaw

‘Joyful and imaginative. Tristan Gooley, author of How to Read a Tree

Thank you to Sally Mollan for the wonderful illustrations inside Oaklore and to all the team at Greystone Books – it is a joy working with you all. 

How to buy Oaklore: you can get it from all book shops, online and off. An especially good way to buy it is from your local independent book shop or from the Woodland Trust shop –  https://shop.woodlandtrust.org.uk/oaklore – which helps our wonderful woods and trees. And if you do buy it – big, oaky thanks, 

Jules
