L. H. Bailey
102 pages~2 hr 3 min read28 chapters$1.99
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.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
