Merlin Hanbury Tenison – Our Oaken Bones: Reviving a Family, a Farm and Britain’s Ancient Rainforests
When Merlin Hanbury Tenison and his wife left London for his childhood farm on Bodmin Moor, they were trying to put his Afghan war experiences and the trauma of multiple miscarriages behind them. Amid the challenges, they made a surprising discovery: the valley’s woods were one of the UK’s last Atlantic temperate rainforests. In Our Oaken Bones Merlin tells a moving story of healing, resilience, and the deep bond between people and the natural world.
