Beningfield's Woodlands

40 pictures (watercolours and a few line drawings) are published here for the first time. As his theme, Beningfield has sought out some of the quiet corners where English woodland continues to flourish in all its glory. Here are the pollarded beeches, the old oak trees with their enormous gnarled trunks, the primroses on mossy banks and the delicate wood anemones scattered across the woodland floor. Also celebrated in the book is the wildlife of the woods: tawny owls, woodpeckers, nuthatches, badgers, foxes, fallow deer and butterflies.
