Description
A beautifully simple story of hope and survival, The Man Who Planted Trees is a testament to the power of one person's creative instinct. In 1910, a chance encounter with a shepherd in the wilds of Provence sets in motion a remarkable chain of events.
Over the next decade, the shepherd's solitary work transforms a desolate valley into a thriving landscape, a verdant oasis that is a marvel of nature. The story of this quiet miracle is one that resonates as strongly with readers today as it did when it was first published.
Featuring an introduction from award-winning naturalist Richard Mabey, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves nature and the beauty of the natural world.
