The Tree, one of John Fowles' few works of nonfiction. First published a generation ago, it is a provocative meditation on the connection between the natural world and human creativity, and a powerful argument against taming the wild. In it, Fowles recounts his own childhood in England and describes how he rebelled against his Edwardian father{u0092}s obsession with the {u0093}quantifiable yield{u0094} of well-pruned fruit trees and came to prize instead the messy, purposeless beauty of nature left to its wildest.
