Up in the Tree

Two children rejoice in their home up in a tree, free from parental guidance and earthbound concerns. But when beavers gnaw their ladder into matchsticks, the children arenÕt sure they want to be <i>quite</i> so alone. Playful, whimsical, and wry, the story is vintage Atwood. Long out of print, <i>Up in the Tree</i> was first published in 1978. Because it was considered too expensive and risky to publish a childrenÕs book in Canada, Atwood not only wrote and illustrated the book, but hand-lettered the type. This facsimile edition captures all the charm of the original, and makes a thoughtful gift for Atwood fans as well as for young readers.
