`Wonderful. I agree with so much of what Jack has to say - about trees, risk, being more child-like, and seeking out pockets of peace even in our cities.' - Alastair Humphreys, author of Microadventures`After I finished this book I alarmed my family by going into the garden and climbing the apple tree.' - Damian Whitworth, The Times`One of the publishing sensations of the year ... For anyone who has ever felt a little overwhelmed in a big city, or wanted to step out of the rat race for an hour or two, Jack Cooke will be something of an inspiration.' - Robert Hardman, Daily Mail`His descriptions are a joy to read, encapsulating the simple pleasures and the challenges of scaling a tree. 'A dendritic delight' - Londonist`Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated... his joy and wonder as he views the city from his bird's-eye vantage point are infectious. So much so, that on my way home from work, I found myself eyeing up trees and thinking, if only I could get a leg up. An absolute delight.' - Catherine Small, The Irish News
