'The Oak Papers' by James Canton

'The Oak Papers' by James Canton

Radio 4 book of the week (3-7 August 2020) was 'The Oak Papers' by James Canton, a wonderful book on the history of oak trees, and the healing power of them.

James met Dylan last year, and writes about their discussions in his book.

Dylan was mentioned on Friday's reading.

Excerpt from 'The Oak Papers'

by James Canton

Part 3, Being with Oaks, pgs 181-184 (Hardback version)

It is my friend Dave Charleston who introduces me to Dylan Pym. I am chatting to Dave in his bookshop about my time sat beside the Honywood Oak.

'You want to meet Dylan' Dave suggests. 'He loves his oaks.'
