Take a journey into the mysterious world of trees . . .
At Boscobel in Shropshire stands the Royal Oak, where the future King Charles II was alleged to have hidden from Cromwell's men. There are redwoods in California that would have been ancient by the time Columbus first landed, and there are pines still alive which were germinated around the time that humans invented writing. There are Douglas firs as tall as skyscrapers, and one banyan tree in Calcutta as big as a football field.
From the tallest to the smallest, trees inspire wonder, and in 'The Secret Life Of Trees' Colin Tudge travels from his own back garden right round the world. He brings back the stories and facts behind trees: from how they live so long, and how they really work, to how they talk to each other, and why they came to exist in the first place. Full of rich and surprising stories, 'The Secret Life Of Trees' will make everyone fall in love with the trees around them.
