Publisher Synopsis
Thanks to the artisan bookmakers at Tara Publishing a beautiful handmade book looks set to help us all discover an enchantment in even the ropiest urban sapling... The Nightlife of Trees is a striking handbound and screen-printed ode to the legends, folklore and spirituality of the forest. The arboretum of illustrationsfound within The Night Life of Tree's pages are silkscreened onto black handmade stock, allowing each magical tree and its narrative to shine out of the dark - and offering a captivating foray into the Gond imagination, where trees intoxicate and embrace, peacocks dance and sore-eyed bullocks seek out healing sap. grafik The book is a charming and delightful read ... providing a glimpse into the rich storytelling tradition and imaginative world of Gond folklore.
