[0-88794-362-4] 1989. (Mass market paperback) Very good. 51pp. 8vo. Oblong format. English text. Paperback, with card stock dust jacket, housed in a card slipcase. There is a name penned in blue marker (relatively small, neat) to the front paper blank); otherwise a fine copy. The card case shows light wear. Overal, a very good copy of this short story that tells of a man, Elzard Bouffier, who, in his lifetime, planted 100 acorns a day in a desolate, barren area of Provence in the south of France and of the forest, flowers, birds and animals, and fresh water brought to the region as a result of his work. Illustrations, done by Frédéric Back, are from the Oscar Best Animated Short Film (1988) CBC film of the same name. Lovely copy. Translation of L'homme qui plantait des arbres.
