I have just received the illustrated version of this book. It is fantastic with some glorious images, visual and verbal, in it. I got the book to help me with the plot of my own novel partly set in a forest.

it could be argued that the bloke who wrote this book anthropomorphoses (is that actually a word!) trees and forests in his description of how they interact with each other, however there is a lot of evidence both inside and outside of this book to explain the networking that goes on with trees and other plants.

I do so recommend this book to everyone…
