The Apple Orchard: The Story of Our Most English Fruit
Pete Brown
Taking us through the year by its seasons, The Apple Orchard turns the most ordinary of fruits into something magical, showing its place at the heart of our lives
An orchard is not a field. It’s not a forest or a copse. It couldn’t occur naturally; it’s definitely cultivated. But an orchard doesn’t override the natural order- it enhances it, dresses it up. It demonstrates that man and nature together can - just occasionally - create something more beautiful and (literally) more fruitful than either could alone. The vivid brightness of the laden trees, studded with jewels, stirs some deep race memory and makes the heart leap. Here is bounty, and excitement.
