And The Folklore of Trees listens. Join the author and illustrator for an evening of conversation, Q&A and readings in the stunning St Saviour's Hall on Lambhay Hill on the Hoe.Tickets are £5 - including refreshments.For just £10 extra, you can take home a signed copy of Aidan's book.This beautifully illustrated guide uncovers the myths, legends, and superstitions behind thirty-six iconic trees—from the Major Oak of Sherwood Forest to the ancient baobabs of Madagascar.Folklore of Trees is shaped by the author’s personal connection to nature and creative vision, with a foreword by Chris Packham, one of Britain’s most respected naturalists and broadcasters. The author’s journey is as compelling as the trees themselves.As a child, he often felt out of step with the classroom, but his curiosity about the natural world was boundless. He once hid a dead adder in his bedroom and filled a school shed with snails to shelter them from the rain. Trees became a quiet refuge—offering calm and clarity during times of emotional and mental strain.To now publish a book endorsed by his childhood hero, Chris Packham, is a full-circle moment that would have astonished his younger self. “Trees are grounding giants,” the author says. “They offer strength and reassurance in a world that can sometimes feel chaotic.”“This book reminds us of the enduring power of stories to connect us to our history, to nature and hopefully to an ever-greener future. We need to love life, we need to love trees.” - CHRIS PACKHAMPlease arrive 10 minutes before the start time.St Saviour's Hall does not have step-free access, and the toilet is down several stairs.Snacks, hot drinks and a glass of wine are complimentary.This event is not appropriate for children under 12.
