Critics Review
Energetic writing accompanied by captivating illustrations that evoke the wonder and magic of trees meant I couldn’t put this book down until I’d absorbed every beautiful page. Funny and informative, it’s a heartfelt and personal look at the world’s best known trees, their links with humanity and role in the natural world. It’s hard to look at these towering plants without sharing the same love Drori and Clerc have clearly poured into Around the World in 80 Trees. * Jack Wallington, The Telegraph *
Around the World in 80 Trees is one of my most treasured volumes in the rather massive library of tree books that I accumulated over the years that I researched and wrote The Overstory – Richard Powers, Pulitzer Prize winning author
