This is a correspondence like no other, bringing together twenty-eight letters that Yves Yger, walker, storyteller and botany enthusiast, wrote to the trees in his life. Twenty-eight letters which, from the hawthorn to the linden, are as many encounters with a singular essence. Moved by the defeat of the box tree in the face of the devouring moth, annoyed by the chestnut tree which refuses to give him its heart, grateful to the charm for its gallant alcoves, the naturalist letter writer depicts all the variety of relationships that unite us to trees. Magnificently illustrated by the pencil of Florence Gendre, trained in botanical drawing in the galleries of the National Museum of Natural History, these letters are an ode to nature.
