Arbres, secrets de géants, by Francis Martin (text) and Emmanuel Boitier (photographs)

The depths of our forests are home to venerable trees with a thousand and one stories to tell. This beautiful large-format book highlights twenty-four legendary species from our woods and countryside through a series of richly documented personal portraits illustrated with dreamlike images.

A beautifully crafted book that immerses us in the world of trees that we live alongside without really knowing them. Each chapter begins with an original sketch and a carefully chosen angle to highlight the essence of each tree.

A scientific and literary account by Francis Martin, one of the world’s leading forest specialists, who takes us on a tour of the tree’s ecosystem and its deep connections with flora and fauna, not to mention humans. Enchanting images of remarkable trees, some of which are centuries old, taken by Emmanuel Boitier, official photographer of the Tree of the Year competition in France.
