Liberty Hyde Bailey
102 pages~2 hr 3 min read28 chaptersFree this month
Where there is no apple tree, something is missing from the land, argues Liberty Hyde Bailey in this gentle meditation. He follows the tree through the landscape, the buds on its twigs, and its long companionship with humankind. Warm, wise, and beautifully observed. For anyone who has stood under one in bloom, a small book to treasure.
Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
