L'homme qui plantait des arbres by Jean Giono

katyab's review against another edition

5.0

As sweet and beautiful as I remember — I saw a gorgeous puppet show as a child, but had no idea it was a short story until now! And the fact that it has captured the world’s attention for so long is lovely. I won’t say too much more about the true story (or rather, the truth of it), because I think there’s something worth discovering about the power of art in this story. An absolute gift.
