Il était une forêt

Trees start out tiny but become giants. They appear immobile, yet they travel. They seem passive, but they are capable of remarkable strategies towards achieving their destiny. In this fascinating odyssey, Luc Jaquet and Francis Hallé take us to the heart of the tropical forests. It is a stunning dream-like adventure outside time or space, spanning seven centuries. Once upon a time, there was a forest is almost a rite of passage, in which the reader is introduced, through this richly-illustrated book, to an incredible universe, groaning with life from its undergrowth to the tips of its tallest trees.
