Uprooted: On the Trail of the Green Man<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Authors’ Foundation Roger Deakin Award<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uprooted<\/em> is about the Green Man myth and mythology and religion and how those things come into being. It is also about our relationship with nature, and about what nature is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praise for Uprooted<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Riotously fecund\u2026Uprooted is less a work of cultural history or countryside writing than a pantheist call to arms.\u2019 \u2013 The Guardian<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Gloriously eccentric\u2026 Distinguished by the excellence of its writing and its quirky, hobbyhorsical discursiveness, Uprooted<\/em> is very much a book for our confusing and ever more confused times.\u2019 \u2013 The Spectator<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This quirky but engaging book describes Lyon\u2019s quest to track down as many examples of [The Green Man] as she can\u2026Ultimately the book is less about the Green Man and more about the author\u2019s search for meaning in her life. It could have become unbearably self-indulgent, but Lyon is a witty and insightful writer and her account is filled with self-deprecating charm\u2019 \u2013 The Sunday Times<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Nina Lyon\u2019s new book on the \u201cGreen Man\u201d, which, it turns out, is not really about the Green Man at all, but something bigger. It is an unusual, digressive and timely piece of writing that pulls on many threads.. But just as the meaning of the Green Man hides behind the foliage that sprouts from his mouth and eye sockets, it turns out that the true purpose of Uprooted is also hiding in the undergrowth, waiting to be discovered.\u2019 \u2013 The New Statesman, Paul Kingsnorth<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
