<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A personal story detailing an illustrator's love affair with trees and his attempts at raising them in his back garden.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Illustrator Thibaud Herem is nurturing a homegrown arboretum in his flat in Clapton. With over 30 species of tree ranging from oak to Japanese maple to giant redwood, this is a documentation of his obsession as well as a visual exploration of the beautiful shapes and forms found in nature. Within a personal narrative, this little book includes fascinating informa- tion about the trees, the process of planting and cultivating them, and musings on society's relationship to the architecture of trees.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Though widely known for his intricate architectural black and white illustrations, French artist Thibaud Hérem harbours an unexpected passion for gardening as documented in Raising a Forest. The pages are filled with beautiful, delicate and colourful drawings of trees, leaves, plants and seeds, plus some gardener's tools, laid out in a meticulous way that hints at Thibaud's famous attention to detail --It'sNiceThat In Raising a Forest he shares the experiences he has accumulated over the last few years, growing fifty different species of tree (mainly in pots) in the tiny garden of his flat in London.For such a small book, this provides a surprisingly effective window into a wider, parallel world, and a great way for "tree beginners" of all ages to start to appreciate them more fully. --AOI</p> I can practically smell the fresh air coming off this book and I had a strong desire to take a walk through the woods. The detail on the illustrations is incredible and the author's interest in the subject shines through. If you have even a small interest in trees, this book, with its clear layout, spare words and focus on the visual will draw you in completely.<i>--YouthServicesbookreview</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thibaud Herem is a French illustrator uprooted and transplanted to East London.
