The Baron in the Trees

If you could live in the treetops, would you? This powerful story follows a young nobleman who rebels against his parents by climbing into the trees and staying there for the rest of his life. He adapts efficiently to an existence in the forest canopy—he hunts, sows crops, plays games with earth-bound friends, fights forest fires, etc. But from his perch in the trees, he sees Italian history unfold as he lives through Europe’s Enlightenment and beyond.
