London book launch of Wildest Dream

23 September 2025, London

We're thrilled to be able to launch David Gee's fourth and final book, Wildest Dream: An Imagined History of the Green Man, at the Quaker Centre at Friends House, London.

Wildest Dream follows the Green Man figure as he has moved through the ages, through our May festivals, church walls, and peasant protest into emerging movements of hope in the face of ecological crisis. Along the way we meet characters familiar and new, communities striving to live a better relationship with each other and the planet.

David completed Wildest Dream just before he died from terminal cancer in December 2024. During the launch, there will be a conversation about and readings from the book. There will also be clips from a filmed interview David gave about Wildest Dream before he died.

The launch will be a chance to celebrate this beautiful and important book, which is so full of David's hope and care.

The book launch and readings will take place in the library at Friends House, after which we will move to the Quaker Centre for refreshments and further conversations.

David had worked at Friends House as a peace campaigner and was a familiar face at Yearly Meeting and other Quaker events. A previous book Holding Faith: Creating Peace in a Violent World was a comission by Quaker Books.
