The ‘lonely tree’ has learnt to understand everything has a season: summer brings warmth, autumn provides seeds, winter can be lonely but spring brings new life. The Paper Chain (1998), Claire Blake, Eliza Blanchard, and Kathy Parkinson. One day, the last acorn that fell from the old oak begins to grow, and the new seedling and the evergreen become good friends. The bird describes how death is a part of life and reminds him how much his friend loved him. The worried young evergreen asks the returning birds why his friend is still asleep and they explain that he has died of old age. All through the winter, the little tree feels lonely and cold, but spring returns and new leaves appear everywhere, except on the branches of the old oak.
The oak is tired and tells his new friend that he loves him. The little tree, being an evergreen, will not sleep. Autumn comes and the younger tree notices that the oak’s leaves are turning brown as he prepares for his winter sleep. Summer arrives, and the oak and the little tree become friends and the oak tells stories. A new tree begins to grow which no-one except the oldest oak has seen before. It’s spring in the New Forest, bluebells bloom and birds return from Africa. He has one daughter, Lily, to whom The Lonely Tree is dedicated.Author: Nicholas Halliday Illustrator: Nicholas Halliday Publisher: Halliday Books (#1) 25th Anniversary Edition of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (Wizard, 2007).Map Illustrator Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks He has both authored and illustrated a number of books, including the highly praised The Lonely Tree, which the Times Educational Supplement described as "Richly illustrated and sympathetically explored for younger readers and, of course, that last acorn is the seed for a happy ending."
