Planted in the nineteenth century, it became an iconic local landmark. It was immortalised in the 1991 film Robin Hood starring Kevin Costner, which transformed it into a symbol of the North East. One night in September 2023, two men, Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers, cut it down, prompting a manhunt and trial that played out through global headlines and an ensuing huge media outcry that took on a whole life of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFelled is about who these men are, why they cut this particular tree down and why the world felt so strongly about it. It is a portrait of two men who existed in the cracks; men who perhaps did not have the chance to compete on a level playing field; and how society was quick to condemn them when they were charged with felling the tree. It is a story about collective grief and outrage and of what we prioritise in our stories of loss and punishment. It examines the wider reaction to the felling by the British public and asks, concurrently, whether society, all of us, did enough to give these two men hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Andrew Hankinson\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTrue crime, Social issues \u0026amp; processes, Offenders\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 22 Oct 2026 by Putman Publishing.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Hankinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57517029228922,"sku":"9781917923941","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781917923941.jpg?v=1793741058","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/it\/products\/felled-9781917923941","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
