From the first meeting, there grew a strange sense of attachment I did not consciously recognise until I later began to realise the significance that trees, and oak trees especially, can have in our lives.'James Canton spent two years sitting with and studying the Honywood Oak. A colossus of a tree, it would have been a sapling when Magna Carta was signed. Initially visiting the tree for escape and solitude, in time he learns to study it more closely. He examines how our long-standing dependency on oak trees has developed and morphed into myth and legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Oak Papers is a stunning, meditative and healing book about the lessons we can learn from the natural world, if only we slow down enough to listen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Canton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57391133688133,"sku":"9781838851514","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9781838851514.jpg?v=1773517510","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9781838851514","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
