Bestselling author of “The Drunken Botanist,” nature writer Amy Stewart presents fifty vignettes of remarkable people whose lives have been transformed by their obsessive passion for trees. When Stewart discovered a community of tree collectors, she expected to meet horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from something deeper: a longing for community, a vision for the future, or a path to healing and reconciliation. Illustrated with Stewart’s own hand-drawn watercolor portraits of these extraordinary people and their trees, “The Tree Collectors” is a stunning tribute to a devoted group of nature lovers making their lives—and the world—more beautiful, one tree at a time.Books available from Left Bank Books: https://www.left-bank.com/book/9780593446850
