Favorite quote: “ (D.H.) Lawrence also enjoyed writing among the trees close to where he lived in the Black Forest village of Ebersteinburg, Baden-Baden Germany. ‘I go off by myself into the woods and write each morning,’ he wrote in a letter to the painter Jan Juta in June , 1921. ‘I find a forest such a strange stimulus — the trees are like living company. They seem to give off something dynamic and secret, and anti-human. Especially fir-trees.’”
From the publisher: From James Baldwin, writing in the small hours of the morning in his Paris apartment, to DH Lawrence writing at the foot of a towering Ponderosa pine tree, to the Brontë sisters managing in a crowded co-working space, this book takes us into the lives of some of history's greatest ever writers, with each writing space illustrated in evocative watercolour by James Oses.
