The Great North Wood

A quiet, contemplative graphic novel from Avery Hill Publishing, The Great North Wood (2018–present) is a single-issue meditation on place, memory, and the changing landscape of South London. Written and illustrated by Tim Bird, the series uses the titular woodland as a lens to explore personal and ecological histories, weaving together moments from childhood, local folklore, and the encroaching city. Its understated, watercolor-like art and lyrical pacing make it a distinctive, intimate work that resonates with readers interested in the quiet intersections of nature and urban life.
