A Woodman's Tale

IN LOVING MEMORY OF JOHN COOPER

WHO SADLY PASSED AWAY ON THE 18th JUNE 2009 AGED JUST 67, AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH M.N.D

As Seen In The Forestry Machine Journal

Welcome,

Finally, it's here. After three years in the making John managed to get the much sought after book completed.

Initially he had sent a couple of short stories to the Forestry Machine Journal for a bit of fun, the response was extremely unexpected....

The requests for his book, which at that point just did not exist were coming in fast, and not just from readers but fellow Tree Surgeons, Engineers, and a whole host of unimaginable 'fans'

With the help of Photographic Records from his exploits and the Artistic Cartoons Skills of Gordon Songer, he gradually began to bring his stories to life.

The whole enterprise of getting the 'Book' Published provided a new set of amuzing and frustrating stories in itself when the first Publishers went into administration two days before delivery was due !!..

But here it is at last..

Enjoy !!..............
