A BOOK OF SILENCE

GOSSIP FROM THE FOREST

Fairytales are one of our earliest cultural forms, and forests one of our most ancient landscapes. Yet both forests and fairy stories are at risk and their loss deprives us of our cultural lifeblood. Maitland visits forests through the seasons, from the exquisite green of a beechwood in spring, to the muffled stillness of a snowy pine wood in winter.
