In this captivating episode, we embark on a fascinating journey through the heart of Essex, leaving no branch unturned as we unearth enchanting tales of trees and their hidden stories. Joining us on this adventure is Dr. James Canton from the University of Essex.
As the Director of Wild Writing at the university, James has been at the forefront of exploring the relationship between literature, landscape, and the environment since launching the MA Wild Writing program in 2009. A true storyteller, he brings his expertise to life through his acclaimed books, including *Out of Essex: Re-Imagining a Literary Landscape* (2013), which draws inspiration from his rural wanderings across our beloved county. He also delves into the depths of time with *Ancient Wonderings: Journeys into Prehistoric Britain* (2017), where he shares remarkable tales that weave together the lives of those who walked the land long before us.
Join us as we traverse the paths of Essex, guided by James’s passionate insights, and discover the intricate connections between our environment and its timeless narratives!
