Unfolding at a leisurely pace, the story portrays the varied natural settings of the region in a most engaging way. The theme of nature and mankind’s responsibility to care for it, is present throughout the narrative.

Story
In 1855, Walt Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of Leaves of Grass, a visionary volume of 12 poems. Showing the influence of a uniquely American form of mysticism known as Transcendentalism, the writing is distinguished by an explosively innovative free-verse style and previously unmentionable subject matter. Exalting nature, celebrating the human body, and praising the senses and sexual love, this monumental work, now a classic of American poetry, was condemned as immoral upon publication.

Story
The Trees is the story of an American family in the wilderness - a family that "followed the woods as some families follow the sea." The time is the end of the 18th century, the wilderness is the land west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio River. But principally, The Trees is the story of a girl named Sayward, eldest daughter of Worth and Jary Luckett, raised in the forest far from the rest of humankind, yet growing to realize that the way of the hunter must cede to the way of the tiller of soil.

Sumac does not rhyme with Stomach
Story is pleasant, nice to follow the birds through nature. The narrator does a nice job, but constantly mispronounces the word sumac, which becomes very irksome since the cardinal spends much of his time in a sumac tree and the word comes up a lot. She also mispronounces various other common English words such as disconsolate and spasmodic. As I said she does a nice enough job, if you can ignore all the mispronunciations. I couldn't.

The audio quality on this recording sucks
I am not even going to finish, listening to the story because I cannot stand the quality of the audio.
