This is a set of 19 short stories, by different authors, each taking a native tree and writing a short story or fable about it. There is a mixture in here of creation myths, of love and of old histories. Some of them are told with a modern perspective, others are more tradiitonal. A number relate to how the tree acquired its distinctive flower or fruiting features. It makes for a fascinating set. And a perfect relaxing read in the bath after a day in the garden. I bought this having read the last of the stories. And I think that one is probably the best of a very good bunch. ( )
