![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Halfway through, the focus switches from traumatized Evelyn to cool, collected, and competent Philippa, who is a far more intriguing character with a more strongly realized plot than her sister. Evelyn, who believes that hers is truly a Woodlands heart, struggles to cope, whereas Jamie and Philippa are happier to be back home. Five and a half years of their experiences collapse when they’re transported back to the middle of the bombing they had escaped, their parents none the wiser. In the middle of the Blitz, 10-year-old Evelyn Hapwell imagines “a haven of silence and golden light,” wishing to go “Anywhere but here.” She and her two siblings, Philippa and Jamie, are magically summoned to the Woodlands, greeted by a majestic stag named Cervus, who tells the children that “a Woodlands heart always finds its way home.” This refrain is repeated throughout the novel, as it alternates between the children’s adventures in the Woodlands (war, peace, negotiations with corrupt royalty) and their subsequent attempts to readjust to normal life when Cervus sends them back to London. A mystical novel about three siblings finding, then losing, then finding their ways home again. ![]() ![]() Four male friends since childhood ("Stand By Me," "It") who share telepathy, dreams ("It," "The Shining") and a heroic retarded friend ("The Stand's" Tom Cullen) deal with contagion and military containment ("The Stand" again) caused by aliens seeking human hosts ("Tommyknockers"). Judging by director Lawrence Kasdan ("Mumford") and cowriter William Goldman's ("Misery") adaptation, "Dreamcatcher" is kitchen-sink King with a broken garbage disposal. ![]() I never read "Dreamcatcher," as it sounded like an unappealing hodgepodge of previous King themes. Duddits's gift also is cause for nightmares, which they ward off with the Indian amulet Duddits taught them to make, the "Dreamcatcher."Īs Stephen King recovered from a near-fatal car accident, he wrote "Dreamcatcher," bestowing his own fate on his central character Jonesy. In return the mysterious Duddits bestowed the gift of telepathy on the four, who, as adults, meet yearly for a hunting trip in the Maine woods. ![]() Jonesy (Damian Lewis, HBO's "Band of Brothers"), Henry (Thomas Jane, "The Sweetest Thing"), Pete (Timothy Olyphant, "The Safety of Objects") and Beaver (Jason Lee, "Big Trouble") were already tight friends before they banded together to save a frightened, mentally retarded young boy, Duddits (Donnie Wahlberg, "The Sixth Sense"), from older bullies. ![]() ![]() With any luck, in the years to come the landscape-scale restoration of high altitude woodland across the Cairngorms will become a ‘textbook example’ of an effective, large-scale and long-term conservation project. Mar Lodge Estate is not perfect (nowhere is), and as I got down to writing the book I realised that the social and political complexities of the ‘Mar Lodge experience’ were just as important to discuss as the successes.Ĭould you talk about a particular conservation success story over the course of the project? ![]() 2020 was the 25th anniversary of the National Trust for Scotland acquiring the site, and one eighth of the way into the Trusts’ 200 year management vision for the land, so it seemed like a good time for a stock-take. ![]() By 2018, all the graphs and reports we were producing were looking very respectable, and I realised we were sitting on a story that deserved a larger audience than it was getting at the time. My first degree was in English Literature, so I’m glad I’ve finally been able to put it to good use! I’ve been working in the ecology team at Mar Lodge since 2016, when the fruits of two decades of hard work were beginning to show, and I instantly fell in love with the place. I’m a lifelong naturalist, but it took me quite a while to take the plunge into working professionally in conservation. Could you tell us a little about your background and where the motivation for this book came from? ![]() |
