Chronicles how the urge to understand and appreciate trees and make things from them still runs through us all. Now in paperback. Robert Penn is a journalist, woodsman, lifelong cyclist and the author of several books including the Sunday Times bestseller It’s All About the Bike and The Man Who Made Things Out of Trees.
