A Summer of the Forest Folk
The most beautiful book you will read this year.
"Irresistibly charming."
"I will never stop reading this."
"I'm stunned and enraptured; you will be too."
"A book about love, in its purest form, for anything and everything."
"Gorgeous writing. What a joy."
This is a book like nothing you have ever read, a phenomenon, a genre of its own. The plot is the simplest thing on earth: tree women spend their summers in a remote cottage deep in the last virgin forest of Europe. This summer, their teenage nephew from the big-city joins them. It is a story of how the city kid "earned his forest name."
But goodness of the book does not lie in the story. It lies in the telling. The setting is magical, the writing is gorgeous, and if you read it carefully, there is another story told between the lines. A cult classic since its publication in 1920, it has had 52 editions in 102 years. Now finally in English in a highly readable, beautifully illustrated translation.
