Big Tree
By Mary & Conrad Buff
The story of a Sequoia tree named Wawona - from the time, before recorded history, when he was a little seed packed tightly in a cone with two hundred others, until comparatively recently when, over three hundred feet tall and having survived magnificently the widely varied attacks of enemies through twenty-five centuries, he comes near falling prey to the greediest and most clever of them all - man.
The author-artists have had an interesting idea of inserting interleaves which give the history of the Sequoias, while the main body of the text carries the thrilling story of Wawona himself.
