Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting



I purchased a used, 1953, hardback first edition of Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting with drawings by Anne Marie Jauss at the Lost Horizon used bookstore in downtown Santa Barbara in 2012.

Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting is in decent condition for being a 65 year old book! This book is 158 pages in length and contains a collection of eighteen folktales from around the world that focus on the theme of trees. 

My five favorite stories from Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting are as follows:

The Weeping Willow
The Wood Nymphs
The Blue Palm Tree
The Nightingale and the Cotton Tree
The Wonderful Bed

The drawings rendered by Anne Marie Jauss throughout Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting are simple and charming.

I'd originally planned to read Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting next month for Arbor Day, but I couldn't resist reading it this month.

I am giving Three Apples Fell From Heaven: Unfamiliar Legends of the Trees by Natalia Belting a rating of 3 stars out of 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
