Where ancient folklore meets modern botany.In Tree with Golden Apples, master storyteller Susan Strauss weaves together twelve evocative myths from across the globe, revealing the profound truths hidden within our relationship with the earth. From the creation of corn to the enduring symbol of the Tree of Life, these stories do more than entertain--they explain the spiritual and physical importance of plants in human history.
Designed for both seasoned performers and curious readers, each story is accompanied by expert storytelling tips and an exploration of the scientific significance behind the myth. By bridging the gap between oral tradition and botanical science, this book offers a unique roadmap for connecting with the natural world through the power of narrative.
