Have you ever stood beneath a majestic 300 year old oak tree and become aware that it lived before you were born, and will most likely still be alive long after you die? Have you ever wondered what a tree might have witnessed during its long life, and thought, ‘If only this tree could talk?’ The Tree that Talked is the story of the lifetime of such an oak tree, from birth to death. Using the tree as our witness, Jenny Smedley guides you to observe many small moments in history, rippling outward to affect the world. Intimate family occasions - triumphs and tragedies - all take place under the oak’s shade. You will come to realise that, compared to the tree, we humans are merely transient. And as you share in its own hardships, and its times of healing and renewal, you discover that the tree is a spiritual being connected intensely to all life around it. These wonderful planetary guardians are much more than meets the eye. 152pp, 138mm x 216mm, softback, 2007
