‘Hamadryad’, a Novel by Dr Lorna Robinson (Author), Ms Lydia Hall (Illustrator)

In a climate-ravaged future UK, the Green Party is elected, and their bold young leader institutes a national programme to restore ancient traditions by pairing trees with humans. From huge civic festivals to different personal names, a new framework is put in place overnight.

In the aftermath of this new world, a small community forms in the abandoned tunnels of the London Underground which questions the changes, while others embrace the new order with a cult-like intensity.

Hamadryad imagines the lives of three very different people with their trees, and explores the way the world changes when we fundamentally alter our sense of self.
