From druids' oaks to deadly yews, tempting apples to erotic peaches, humanity has, for thousands of years, imbued trees with spiritual meaning. Taking in trysting trees, festive fi rs, boughs of peace and hangman's favourites, this book explores 50 species and their myths and magical associations. Discover the knightly allure of medieval holly, how willow became a symbol of mourning and when the blackthorn became the witch's tree. Find out why the Greeks adored the fig, the Vikings worshipped the mighty ash, and the Banyan abounds with protection and fertility.
