Have you ever wondered how trees got their names? What did our ancestors think about trees, and how were they used in the past? This fascinating book will answer many of your questions, but also reveal interesting stories that are not widely known. For example, the nut from which tree was predicted to pay off the UK's national debt? Or why is Europe's most popular pear called the 'conference'? Simon Wills tells the history of 28 common trees in an engaging and entertaining way, and every chapter is illustrated with his photographs.
