Gli alberi sono stati i protagonisti delle storie fin da quando Ovidio descrisse la metamorfosi della ninfa Dafne in un alloro, e il panorama della letteratura è da tempo ravvivato da boschi selvaggi, boschetti sacri e frutteti fertili. Questa deliziosa raccolta spazia da Ovidio ad Austen e dalla foresta di Sherwood di Robin Hood (attraverso Maid Marian di Thomas Love Peacock) a "La leggenda della valle addormentata" di Washington Irving. Ecco fiabe infestate dalla foresta, sia classiche (i fratelli Grimm) che rivisitate in modo creativo (Angela Carter). C'è spazio in questi boschi per la commedia così come per il terrore, in Cold Comfort Farm di Stella Gibbons e in "Head Tree" di Alexander McCall Smith. Scrittori famosi da tutto il mondo contribuiscono con la narrativa arborea, dal Sudafrica, Finlandia, Francia, Zimbabwe, Russia, Martinica e India, così come da Gran Bretagna, Irlanda, Canada e America. Da "L'albero di mele" di Daphne du Maurier a "Sotto l'albero di Banyan" di RK Narayan, la vasta gamma di storie contenute in queste pagine lascerà i lettori rinfrescati e abbagliati.

Trees have starred in stories ever since Ovid described the nymph Daphne's metamorphosis into a laurel, and the landscape of literature has long been enlivened by wild woodlands, sacred groves, and fertile orchards.
