      A journey through the Great Storm and the re-birth of the English landscape.

      Trees are part of the British psyche. We care if just one tree is cut down unnecessarily. So what happens when 15 million are blown down in one night? Part travelogue, part memoir, part celebration of nature''s ability to heal itself, Windblown is as rich in character and story-telling as the rings of an ancient oak.

      ''Windblown is a marvellously original mixture of reportage and memoir, holding a memorable event in recent history up to the light and making sense of it'' Bel Mooney

      ''A wonderful read'' Michael Fish

      ''Vivid ... thoroughly researched and informative''
      TLS

      ''This eloquently written account shows that the Great Storm was a wake-up call, providing a wealth of information that helps us manage our treescape today.'' Tony Kirkham, Head of the Kew Gardens Arboretum
