( This book is from Forest School in London. a social movement with multiple experiences. Forest School is nothing new in learning outdoors and the School roots are often attributed to Scandinavia yet there is a strong family tree in UK culture and elsewhere.  Forest School has a strong "history of football' association and this book is collectible. )
