"One golden October day in 1272 a boy herding pigs in the great Sussex forest of Andreaswald plants an acorn... This story is the subsequent history of its growth and life through six hundred years of British history to the time when the giant oak becomes a shattered ruin held together by iron bands. Human events form a moving background to this original book, with all its wealth of natural history, beautifully told through the eyes of a naturalist."
