This portfolio of photographs, sometimes stylised and idiosyncratic, reflects many of the diverse features that make the Forest of Dean special. Covering subjects from salmon fishing to forestry, and brass bands to karaoke, it also includes the inescapable industrial legacy that is uniquely Dean’s. The book ends with a tribute to continuity, featuring many father-and-son teams still at work in the woods.
'This book by Chris Morris has given me the deepest pleasure’
– Edna Healey, in her introduction (Lady Healey is the daughter of a Forest of Dean quarry worker).
