Why Willows Weep

How the Oak Tree Came to Life….Why Crab Apples Are Sour….Why Birches Have Silver Bark….

These are all titles of fables in an absolute gem of a book I’m currently reading.

It was my friend, Milena, who alerted me to Why Willows Weep - Contemporary Tales from the Woods (thanks, Milena!).  It’s just been published by the Woodland Trust to raise funds and awareness for their cause.  The trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, and every book sold will enable the planting of five native trees.

The tales are written by nineteen of Britain’s leading authors; and the book is gorgeously illustrated by Leanne Shapton (and I mean, gorgeously!).

If you’re looking for presents for a certain celebration beginning with C (which we have no intention of mentioning just yet), then this beautiful little tome might just fit the bill.

As soon as I saw it I thought of you, so glad you purchased a copy. Mine is lying on my coffee table waiting for me to spend time with it- hopefully this weekend. I just love the idea of tree stories and all for a good cause too. Thank you for your truly kind words on my blog also; to be complimented by an amazing photographer like you means a lot to me xxx
Sending you a hug,
Milena
