A collection of reflective essays on Australian trees, this book captures the author's everyday encounters and heartfelt insights into the flora that surrounds him. With a unique perspective and delicate prose, the writing brings poetry and a sense of distance to the reader, offering a refreshing and inspiring experience. The book features over 90 essays, organized into four chapters: "The Romance of Spring," "The Brilliance of Summer," "The Tranquility of Autumn," and "The Evergreens of Winter."
