In The Folklore of Trees, Aidan Meighan brings these tales together with rich cultural context and intricate illustrations, sharing the myths, legends and secrets of the world's most iconic trees, and the seasonal customs, protective charms and superstitions associated with them.

  • Sally Coulthard

    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    Join us in conversation with bestselling author and columnist Sally Coulthard. We’ll discuss the hidden history of the coast through objects found along its shoreline and brought to life in Sally’s new book, A Brief History of the Coast in 100 Objects. Described as “a true celebration of the flotsam and jetsam left by time and tide” (Rose Ferraby) and “a wonderfully rich and very different narrative that reeks of tang and pungent atmosphere” (Alistair Moffatt), this is a much anticipated follow up to A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, which was a Waterstones Best Book of 2024 for Nature Writing, and is very popular here in the Book Tree too!
