Della Hooke is an Honorary Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences, University of Birmingham (FSA: Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London).
Clearly written, well-illustrated, and impressively broad-ranging
in its methodology. The footnotes and bibliography make it an
invaluable resource for further study.
*PARERGON*
Della Hooke's book is the first large-scale treatment of its
subject, and could hardly be surpassed in its patient and thorough
accumulation of data. Lovers of trees and students of early England
have equal reason to be grateful to her.
*TIME AND MIND*
An enjoyable read and [...] a useful addition to our understanding
of pre-Medieval landscapes.
*SCOTTISH FORESTY*
To look at any tree after reading [the] book is to have a clearer
grasp of what someone might have made of it (literally and
metaphorically) a thousand years ago.
*SALON*
An enormously detailed and authoritative study [which] has much to
offer Anglo-Saxon scholarship. [...] An excellent volume.
*LANDSCAPE HISTORY*
[A] well-written and thoughtfully constructed book.
*MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY*
[A] deeply researched and engagingly written book.
*THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW*
