Description :
VAN SANDWYK, Charles Tree Whispers North Vancouver: Savuti Press, 2015 8vo., brown sewn card wraps with integrated dust cover in dark green; onlaid watercolour label showing a wise owl sitting on a branch with calligraphic titles; decorative gilt borders showing various tree folk; a further image of an anthropomorphised tree in gilt to lower cover; calligraphically printed throughout in various colours; frontis etching behind mounted spiderwebbed tissue guard; pages of various sizes throughout, printed on a variety of coloured paper stocks including two semi-translucent with text and images in full colour showing tree folk, owls and stag beetles; fine. Deluxe edition, one of just 120 copies, this copy no. 86 with the frontis etching signed and numbered by the author/illustrator in pencil. The first 50 copies were reserved for patrons of the High Branch Society. A wonderful story, in verse, recounting the mystery of trees, which have much to tell us. From The Bible, to Shakespeare to Tolkien, trees have been anthropomorphised for centuries. The Gospel of Mark speaks of "Men as trees, walking", and perhaps most closely to the style of van Sandwyk's drawings are those of Arthur Rackham, who portrayed them as "bristly, twisted, anthropomorphic trees that appear as the guises of Elves and other supernatural beings." Here, the illustrator brings them even more to life; reading books, strumming harps, and spinning spider webs, all in his unique and intricate style.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. van Sandwyk, Charles (illustrateur). 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. Author: Charles van Sandwyk. Title: Tree Whispers. Publisher: North Vancouver, Savuti Press, 2015. First Edition. Printed offset in a limited edition of 600 copies. Language: Text in English. Size: 9" x 6.5". Pages: Unpaginated (24 pages). Binding: Fine and attractive original illustrated hand-sewn wrappers with French flaps, retaining the publisher's distinctive textured covers decorated with woodland imagery and an owl vignette to the front cover. Protected in a removable mylar cover. Content: Fine content. Bright, fresh, and exceptionally clean throughout. A particularly well-preserved copy. Illustrations: Complete with all the wonderful illustrations by Charles van Sandwyk, including numerous delicate color and monochrome drawings throughout, several full-page illustrations, and the two tissue-printed illustrations characteristic of this edition. The book: Tree Whispers is one of Charles van Sandwyk's most enchanting modern fairy books, a lyrical meditation on the secret voices of the natural world. Through a sequence of poetic reflections and exquisite illustrations, van Sandwyk imagines ancient trees as living beings filled with memory, wisdom, and quiet conversation. Leaves become messengers, insects become musicians, and woodland spirits emerge from bark and branches to reveal a hidden realm that exists just beyond ordinary perception. Produced by Savuti Press in a limited edition of only 600 copies, the book exemplifies van Sandwyk's remarkable ability to merge literature, illustration, and bookmaking into a unified work of art. Every detail, from the hand-sewn binding and textured papers to the delicate drawings and decorative typography, reflects the handcrafted spirit that has made his publications so desirable among collectors. The imagery throughout is especially memorable, featuring expressive tree spirits, whimsical woodland creatures, and finely observed botanical details rendered with the elegance and imagination for which the artist is celebrated. The result is a book that feels less like a conventional publication and more like a treasured artifact from an enchanted forest. Today, Tree Whispers ranks among the most sought-after Savuti Press productions and remains a favorite among collectors of modern private press books, fairy literature, and the works of Charles van Sandwyk.

AN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT POEM, CALLIGRAPHICALLY LETTERED AND ILLUSTRATED IN WATERCOLOUR V AN SANDWYK, Charles Tree Whispers Deep Cove, British Columbia: Charles van Sandwyk, 2025 8vo., bound in decorative full navy floral cloth; with onlaid manuscript label in colour to upper board; blue-green marbled endpapers; outer edges untrimmed; unpaginated [pp. xxxi] with three additional miniature inserts bound in; hand lettered, drawn, penned and painted by the author on antique cream, white and grey papers; manuscript throughout; with decorative titles, borders, vignettes and illustrations both full page and interspersed within text, featuring reading insects, owls, moonlit landscapes, hedgehogs and various tree folk; fine, as issued, complete in the custom-made green morocco and marbled clamshell case; lettered and lined in gilt, with five raised bands and floral vignettes gilt in compartments. A HAND DRAWN, LETTERED, PAINTED AND BOUND MANUSCRIPT of Charles Van Sandwyk's celebrated poem, Tree Whispers . The book was originally published in 2015 in a deluxe edition of 120 copies, of which 50 were reserved for the patrons of the High Branch Society. An unnumbered trade edition followed the same year. Charles van Sandwyk has devoted much of his adult life to the quiet study and contemplation of the natural world. With a deep love of nature and the array of creatures which inhabit the earth, this wonderful poem celebrates the magic and mystery of the woods, and, perhaps, how trees would speak, should we listen hard enough. From The Bible, to Shakespeare, to Tolkien, trees have been anthropomorphised for centuries. The Gospel of Mark speaks of "Men as trees, walking", and, perhaps most closely to the style of Van Sandwyk's drawings are those of Arthur Rackham, who portrayed them as "bristly, twisted, anthropomorphic trees that appear as the guises of Elves and other supernatural beings." Here, the illustrator brings them even more to life; reading books, strumming harps, and spinning spider webs, all in his unique and intricate style. Produced specially for Fold the Corner in the early months of 2025 at the author's own home in British Columbia, Canada, this is a one-of-a-kind manuscript. Alongside the hand-written poem, beautifully penned in his long, flowing hand, illustrations depict stag beetles adorned with fresh green leaves, penning poems and other songs; contemplative owls; scenes of forests and mountainscapes under the face of a moon and stars embellished in gold; anthropomorphosised tree and twig folk, some playing instruments; and other creatures simply enjoying a ride on the back of a falling leaf.
