Résumé
From druids' oaks to deadly yews, tempting apples to erotic peaches, humanity has long imbued trees with spiritual and superstitious meaning. Trees run deep in our folklore and mythology. Their leaves, branches, roots and fruits have all served as metaphors for human needs and desires - from strength and resilience to shelter and sustenance. Each species' unique qualities have inspired fables, sayings and symbolism.
In this new book, Sally Coulthard explores the enchanted world of tree folklore, where nature and legend intertwine. From lovers' trysting trees and festive firs to boughs of peace and hangman's favourites, she examines 50 of the world's most iconic species and their myths and magical associations. Discover the chivalric allure of medieval holly, how willow became a symbol of mourning, and why blackthorn was feared as the witch's tree.
Learn why the Greeks revered the fig, the Vikings the mighty ash, and how the banyan came to embody protection and fertility. Beautifully illustrated, Tree Lore: The Myths, Folklore and Meaning of Trees is more than a guide to familiar species - it reveals the rich, often surprising ways we relate to the natural world. Blending storytelling with botanical and cultural history, it places trees firmly at the heart of the human story.
