Samson, L: Epitaph for the Ash

'Fascinating ... Her pilgrimage to discover the present state of the ash in the UK, and the work that is being done to accommodate or counter ash dieback, is both a labour of love and an extraordinary achievement, especially given the heart-rending physical limitations Samson eventually endures as a result of life-saving surgery' OBSERVER

'Everywhere Lisa's powerful affinity with the natural world is palpable... Samson is right to urge appreciation of what we have; her book will also help raise awareness of the need to protect our invaluable natural heritage for future generations' Literary Review

'Lisa Samson's ... quest to travel the length and breadth of the land takes us on a leafy green jewel of a journey into a kingdom that will change the way you look at the ash tribe forever' BBC Wildlife
