Every page celebrates the way traditional skills can shape who we are' Tristan Gooley\n'Lyrical, moving and never self-pitying . . . a lovely book' The Times\nBen Short has a successful career in advertising, a flat in a trendy part of London, a flashy motorbike. But after years of suffering with anxiety, he's a wreck. A drastic change is needed.\nFor a time, he finds solace working with a forester, then as an apprentice to a Gypsy woodman, setting up home in a dilapidated wagon with just a rescue dog for company. However, it is not until he feels the call of the furnace, a glowing charcoal kiln in the Dorset woods, that he can truly re-forge his thoughts, put the years of suffering behind him, and start afresh by immersing himself in the old ways of woods and fire.\nExquisitely written and deeply honest, Burn is a hopeful story of transformation, a celebration of manual work and craft, and a love letter to the English countryside.\n'Beautifully written . . . reading it leaves you feeling ruffled but alive' Mail on Sunday","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50314765041952,"sku":"9781529370379","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781529370379.jpg?v=1781115729","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/burn-ben-short-9781529370379","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
