He painted trees as by some special divining instinct of their essential qualities. He understood them. He knew why in an oak forest, for instance, each individual was utterly distinct from its fellows, and why no two beeches in the whole world were alike. People asked him down to paint a favorite lime or silver birch, for he caught the individuality of a tree as some catch the individuality of a horse. How he managed it was something of a puzzle, for he never had painting lessons, his drawing was often wildly inaccurate, and, while his perception of a Tree Personality was true and vivid, his rendering of it might almost approach the ludicrous. Yet the character and personality of that particular tree stood there alive beneath his brush—shining, frowning, dreaming, as the case might be, friendly or hostile, good or evil.

About the Author Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was born into a well-to-do Kentish family. His parents, converts to a Calvinistic sect, led an austere life, ill-suited to their dreamy and sensitive son. During adolescence, he became fascinated by hypnotism and the supernatural and, on leaving university, studied Hindu philosophy and occultism. Later, he was to draw on these beliefs and experiences in his writing. Sent away to Canada at the age of twenty, his attempts at making a living were wholly unsuccessful and shortly after his return to England, he began to write. The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories, published in 1906, was followed by a series of psychic detective stories, featuring John Silence, 'physician extraordinary'. His reputation as one of the greatest exponents of supernatural fiction began to grow. Chiefly known for his ghost stories, Blackwood wrote in many different forms within the genre. His most personal works, however, are his 'mystical' novels, for example The Centaur, where he explores man's empathy with the forces of the universe. Blackwood also wrote children's fiction. A Prisoner in Fairyland was adapted into the play (later the musical), Starlight Express. Later in life, Blackwood turned to writing radio plays, and in 1947 he began a new career on BBC TV telling ghost stories. He received a knighthood in 1949.

14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. love of nature By jan erik storebø this is a story about a man with a special form of contact with the woods. that's it, actually. supernatural, not horror. good descriptions. B. is always great at decribing nature and it's lure, and how man is drawn to it. but nothing much happens, and some of the dialogue is unnecessary. (the story is actually a short story)
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Haunting story, very well written By Ms Beastle I've enjoyed Algernon Blackwood stories for a long time. This is one of my favorites. Re-reading it on my Kindle was a wonderful experience. His writing style is easy-going, and he allows the reader to "see" into the characters. The descriptions of the forests and trees were spooky, and the interaction between the main characters was so poignant. Not a long story, but one you will remember.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent prose and an interesting Idea, but too long and predictable By Walter Stanley On the positive side, Blackwood's prose is quite beautiful, and the idea behind the story is rather haunting. The contrast between the primitive Christianity of the man's wife and the pantheistic view of the husband is thoughtfully presented, and presents an interesting view of the world. On the negative side, the story goes on for long after the eventual outcome is obvious, so I was looking forward to the ending so I wouldn't have to continue reading it. Only the quality of the prose kept me going, and perhaps the hope that it might it differently than projected.
