Francis Mundy set the old English forest of Needwood into verse, praising its glades, its rural coronation, and above all the ancient Swilcar Oak. This eighteenth-century poem mourns and celebrates a woodland facing the axe. A green elegy in five parts, adorned with tributes from admiring friends. Wander a vanished forest through a poet's eyes.
