'If anyone was born to save Britain's rainforests, it was Guy
Shrubsole' Sunday Times
Shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Society Literary Prize
Temperate rainforest may once have covered up to one-fifth of Britain,
inspiring Celtic druids, Welsh wizards, Romantic poets, and Arthur Conan
Doyle's most loved creations. Though only fragments now remain, they are
home to a dazzling variety of luminous life-forms.
In this awe-inspiring investigation, Guy Shrubsole travels through the
Western Highlands and the Lake District, down to the rainforests of
Wales, Devon, and Cornwall to map these spectacular lost worlds for the
first time.
This is the extraordinary tale of one person's quest to find Britain's
lost rainforests - and bring them back.
