Wooden Shakespeare Books With Shelf: Oak

Und'r an old oak, whose boughs were mossed with age

And high top bald with dry antiquity

As You Like It 

Handmade from English oak grown in Warwickshire and sourced from responsible forestry practices.

English oak has grown for hundreds of years in the Warwickshire countryside, and the trees are still a familiar and revered sight today, lining hedgerows, standing proud in fields or sitting majestically in small woodlands. 

The oak was the principal tree of The Forest of Arden which once surrounded the town of Stratford upon Avon, and is the setting for Shakespeare's As You Like It. This ancient woodland which stretched across the breadth of Warwickshire was said to be so dense that a squirrel could jump from tree to tree across the whole county.  

... trees shall be my books

As You Like It 

This small shelf, hand-crafted from Warwickshire oak, comes complete with 6 oak books with the Shakespeare play titles of Macbeth, Cymbeline, Pericles, Hamlet, Othello and King Lear. The front of the shelf features the quote, 'trees shall be my books', with the play, 'As You Like It', on the reverse.

Nestled amongst your collection of Shakespeare books and plays, this would make a lovely addition to your bookshelf.

Due to its organic nature, the natural shades and tones of wood may change according to external circumstances. We recommend wiping occasionally with a natural mineral oil to help preserve the finish of the wood.
