An absorbing love letter to the English apple tree...lyrical and joyful
(The Times Literary Supplement)'The vivid brightness of the laden trees, studded with jewels, stirs some deep race memory and makes the heart leap. Here is bounty, and excitement'. Journeying through the seasons in England's apple-growing heartlands, Pete Brown uncovers the history, magic and folklore of our most familiar fruit, showing its unique place in our lives.
'Wonderful, revelatory ... very moving' Sheila Dillon, BBC Radio 4
'His ability to laugh at himself, openness to wonder and willingness to go wherever the search takes him make Brown an engaging writer ... an entertaining journey' Maria McCann, Mail on Sunday
'Pete Brown has charted the fruit's journey from April's blossoms to October's harvest ... the beliefs of the Celts and Christians, the Romans, the Persians, the Greeks and the way that folklore and fairy tales often have apples at their heart. All this from a snack that's often seen as the least glamorous item in a lunchbox' Rebecca Armstrong, Independent
'There is still time to consider apples and I am thankful to all the thought, detail and stories in The Apple Orchard for making me do so' Rose Prince, Spectator

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Taking us through the year by its seasons, The Apple Orchard turns the most ordinary of fruits into something magical, showing its place at the heart of our livesAn orchard is not a field. It's not a forest or a copse. It couldn't occur naturally; it's definitely cultivated. But an orchard doesn't override the natural order- it enhances it, dresses it up. It demonstrates that man and nature together can - just occasionally - create something more beautiful and (literally) more fruitful than either could alone. The vivid brightness of the laden trees, studded with jewels, stirs some deep race memory and makes the heart leap. Here is bounty, and excitement.
