jane gifford is author of
The Celtic Wisdom of Trees - mysteries, magic and medicine
this was first published in hardback UK and USA 2000. first UK and USA paperbacks were published 2001
jane began the project in the late 80s, inspired by Robert Grave's translation of the poem The Battle of the Trees, taking the photographs and researching the subject for many years.
jane produced the rough design for the book for David & Charles 1998. jane owned the copyright to the entire work. David & Charles and their contract were great to work with.
David & Charles was taken over soon after. this delayed publication by one year. Godsfield Press & US publisher Sterling took over the project.
then Hamlyn bought Godsfield Press. we weathered the takeover storms but eventually got lost in the flood. sadly a typical story of modern-day takeovers.
D&C's contract & jane's copyright to the entire project was ignored. subsequently a book loved by many disappeared. we hope it comes back ....
there have been many paperback runs with Godsfield Press & Hamlyn. the latest run of UK paperback is called The Celtic Wisdom of Trees
In USA the book is called The Wisdom of Trees.
The Celtic Wisdom of Trees - mysteries, magic and medicine has been translated in to Japanese and German.
