Description
This book is filled with unusual images - photographs, sculptures, engravings, paintings and drawings - chosen by Marie-France Boyer, who has a remarkable eye for the strange and the beautiful. She shows us monumental trees, nature's ancient sculptures; symbolic trees of mythology, such as the Tree of Knowledge; and tree shrines covered in votive offerings - a practice surprisingly still carried on today in Europe. There are trees distorted into extraordinary shapes by environment or human interference, and elaborate tree houses, arbors and avenues.
