Once upon a time, there was an Apple Tree that loved a little boy very much. This is how one of the classic illustrated stories begins, written by Shel Silverstein. The Giving Tree is perhaps the most famous work of the author and it is available in a collectible edition and in a new translation by Angelos Angelidis - Maria Angelidou. The story refers to the relationship between an apple tree and a child throughout their lives. When the child is small, he visits the tree daily, swings on its branches, and rests in its shade. However, as he grows older, he asks more and more from it while spending less and less time with it. Every day the boy visited her, collected her apples, climbed her trunk, and swung on her branches. And the Tree was happy. An allegory with multiple meanings for readers of all ages. The classic and beloved book of the author continues to move both young and old, composing an ode to selflessness, but it also constitutes a tender allegory for life that completes its cycle.
