"Giono's famous tale is short, simple, and truly inspirational. You'll never forget it." --The Mother Earth News

The Man Who Planted Trees is the story of Elzeard Bouffier, a man of great simplicity and determination. Bouffier, having lost his wife and son, retreats to a remote and desolate part of France. "It was his opinion that this land was dying for want of trees." So, alone with his dog and his sheep, he commences his life work---the steadfast planting of one hundred acorns each day---which will slowly turn the arid wasteland into a beautifully forested countryside.

Paul Winter and Earth Music Productions bring this powerful story to life with music especially composed and performed by members of the Consort. Narrated by Robert J. Lurtsema, longtime host and executive producer of one of public radio's most popular and innovative music programs, WGBH's Morning Pro Musica, this special recording conveys Elzeard Bouffier's magnificent generosity of spirit in undertaking a work worthy of God.
