Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Caoba (Cah-O-Bah) The Mahogany Tree: A Tale of the Forest
It has been the writer's good fortune to have en joyed nature's rich offering of happiness and wonder in many kinds of forests; at times in the coniferous woods of Canada, as they sweep northwards to the Barren Lands, or as they rise above snow-line on the flanks of the Rockies; again, amid tropical splendors Where palms wave their gleaming fronds in the trade winds, and the air is filled With flowery fragrance. The memory of each such contrast enhances the charm of the other. One time, when the cold and frozen north was fast in the icy grasp of Winter, I journeyed southward hundreds of leagues, by land and sea, and found myself in a tropical forest on the island of Cuba.
