Book description
The theme for the 2026 edition of the Almanac is 'woodlands and trees'. For thousands of years we have visited woodlands for resources, and within these pages each month you will learn woodland skills, foraging and recipes that make use of the fruits (and leaves, and seeds) of the forest. Woodlands have also been our places of magic and mystery, and here you will also find their stories: wood maidens, faery guardians, forbidden fruits (rowan, surprisingly, not apple), trees that tell secrets or hide treasure, hanging trees, honest woodcutters, terrifying wild boars and rugged outlaws, including of course greenwood legend Robin Hood.
