Kew: The Witch's Forest

Trees in Magic, Folklore and Traditional Remedies

There is more folklore, mythology and magic associated with our trees and forests than with any other living things.

Known throughout the world as dark and wild places where witches make mischief and eerie creatures dwell, forests are also places of sanctuary for the ancient magic and the most enchanting species of trees.

Kew: Witch's Forest is a beautifully illustrated, captivating journey through the magical woodland and its stories, from birch broomsticks and the sacred olive, to alder doorways and the Tree of Life.
