  • More about Playing With Fire: The Art of Chopping and Burning Wood

The flame of a log fire has character and ever-changing form, but it is being extinguished in a modern world. Playing with Fire inspires and teaches us to look at the history of fire and show the wonders that the burning flame can conjure.

Format: Hardback
Length: 224 pages
Publication date: 11 December 2017
Publisher: The History Press Ltd


The captivating allure of a log fire on a chilly evening is truly remarkable. It possesses a unique character and ever-evolving nature, exuding vibrant hues and graceful movements. Indeed, it was the flame that ignited the transformative journey of life on our planet, but unfortunately, in our modern world, this primal driver of evolution faces the threat of extinction. Gradually, the flames are dwindling as fireplaces become obsolete, bonfires are prohibited, and even schoolchildren are forbidden from using the Bunsen burner. However, the sight of a flame remains as evocative as ever.

Playing with Fire is a project that aims to ignite inspiration and impart knowledge by delving into the captivating history of fire and showcasing the awe-inspiring wonders it can create. Through this initiative, we hope to encourage a renewed appreciation for the flame and its profound impact on our lives.
