Folklore of trees : the fascinating stories behind nature's guardians

Meighan, Aidan2026

Whether it's the Major Oak, a 1,000-year-old tree where Robin Hood is thought to have sheltered, or the 2,800-year-old baobabs in Madagascar, trees are tourist destinations, world heritage sites and much-beloved landmarks. They play a vital role in our imaginations and are inextricably woven into the story of humankind. It's unsurprising, then, that an astonishingly rich body of myth, legend and superstition has grown up around them. This illustrated guide introduces us to thirty-six iconic trees from across the world and explores the stories that have been told about them.
