Reviews

An informed and affable guide to Welsh nature and history. -- Kirkus Return to My Trees is an enthusiastic, witty, and sobering travel account. It gives voice to the dying souls of abused forests and vivifies lands that are untouched by human hands; it warns that a choice must be made regarding what will be left for future generations. -- Foreword Reviews This book offers an uncanny mix that looks back to Wales's rich history and legends and forward to its aspirational green future. VERDICT: For prospective Wales walkers, recommended. For armchair pilgrims, a delight. -- Library Journal

An informed and affable guide to Welsh nature and history. -- Kirkus
