Review of 'The man who planted trees' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The story was alright. Michael McCurdy's design of this edition (Chelsea Green Publishing, 1985), however, was magnificent. Times Roman font, white space on each page, high quality paper, and his wonderful wood engraving illustrations. A thing of rare beauty.
"When you remembered that all this had sprung from the hands and the soul of this one man, without technical resources, you understood that men could be as effectual as God in other realms than that of destruction."
