A remarkable story told to a young girl sows a seed which develops into a lasting affinity with a forest, becoming richer than she could ever have imagined. The Man Who Harvested Trees And Gifted Life by author Gabriel Hemery is a sequel to Jean Giono's much-loved 1954 classic, The Man Who Planted Trees And Grew Happiness. This modern eco-parable encourages us all to seek a stronger connection with the natural world.
