James Canton
Book Shambles - A podcast by The Cosmic Shambles Network - Thursdays
There's been a lot more interest in plants and trees in the UK recently thanks to David Attenborough's The Green Planet series, so this week we speak with nature writer James Canton about his recent book The Oak Papers which tells the story of an 800 year old oak tree, and our relationship with oak throughout the ages. He and Robin chat about great nature writing, notable underwear stores in Ealing and nature in literature from Homer to Chatwin to Macdonald and beyond.
