I loved this book: Ghosts of the Lost Forest. To share the soul journey with a contemporary 21st century young man so naive and sheltered and watch him find his way is a privilege. He is Steven Cooper and he searches. There is a thing about forests rightly captured in this book in that they have a spirit and life all their own--that which extends beyond botany. As the woods suffer the ax or chainsaw, those spirits remain and seek out humans. Humans are notoriously head blind so building a relationship takes some magic, at least that's what I would call it. This forest ghost is in the Arden woods of Warwickshire. You may not know it as the inspiration for Shakespeare's woodland scenes but it was. Stretching across 4 or 5 counties in the 16th century, the remains are still magic as they settle into pockets and single sentinels left standing in our times, smaller but no less powerful as Steven will attest. I certainly won't enter the woods with my ears closed again.
I quite enjoyed this one, too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it!
