A contemporary fable about the resilience of nature from Inga Simpson, one of Australia's leading nature writers, with paintings by acclaimed illustrator Tannya Harricks
When Little Peach Tree was just a sapling, all they could see was row upon row of other peach trees. And, on top of the hill, watching over the orchard - the Peach King.
As seasons pass, bringing cycles of change, Little Peach Tree grows and grows.
But darker changes are stirring. Soon rain is scarce, the forests turn brown, animals flee and the sky turns red.
To protect the orchard, the Peach King faces grave danger and Little Peach Tree must find their voice.
'A modern classic . . . An exquisite book destined to be treasured by generations . . . Its timeless quality and gentle wisdom invite return visits, making it a rewarding and enduring read' BOOKS+PUBLISHING
'Simpson's writing is exquisite: spare, lyrical and deeply evocative. There is not a word wasted or out of place. Her story is perfectly matched with illustrations that sweep from corner to corner bringing the seasons alive. Together they create a timeless tale of growth, change and resilience . . . A book destined to become a classic' GOOD READING MAGAZINE
'A fable for our times - one that feels both timeless and urgent' AUSTRALIAN ARTS REVIEW
