Sut a phryd y collodd dyn gyswllt â natur - a sut gellir ailddarganfod hyn.

Cyfrol sy'n plethu ynghyd hanes a chwedloniaeth gyda straeon am gynnydd a dadfeiliad diwydiannol.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

When and how did man lose contact with nature, and how may this be rediscovered? Matthew Yeomans seeks to answer these questions as he walks over 300 miles through the ancient and modern forests of Wales, losing himself in their stories (and on the odd unexpected diversion, too). Return to My Trees weaves together his story and folklore with tales of industrial progress and decay.
