About this ebook
' These great trees of the mountains, I feel they know me well, as I watch them and listen to their secrets, happy to rest my head beneath their outstretched arms.' A little girl climbs up a rambling old tree, picking its fruit, playing with the squirrels and birds that call it home, finally dozing off on its strongest, most comfortable branch as a gentle breeze plays through its leaves— pure bliss!

With a wide range of stories and essays on the idyllic and lush world of trees, this collection is a must-have for those who love nature and Bond' s writing alike.
