'I can think of no finer writer to have beside me while Italy
explodes, Britain burns, while the world ends' Salman Rushdie From
the age of twelve, the Baron Cosimo Piovasco di Rondo makes his
home among ash, elm, magnolia, plum and almond, living up in the
trees. He walks through paths made from the twisted branches of
olive, makes his bed in a holly oak, bathes in a fountain
constructed from poplar bark. An aerial library holds the books
with which he educates himself in philosophy and mathematics.
Suspended among the leaves, the Baron adventures with bandits and
pirates, conducts a passionate love affair, and watches the Age of
Enlightenment pass by beneath him. 'The most magically ingenious of
the contemporary Italian novelists' The Times
