The Tree

By: Walter de la Mare

Narrated by: AI Voice Arthur Lane

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A prosperous, hard-headed fruit-merchant comes to call on the half-brother he has always despised – a ruined dreamer living in squalor at the world's edge. But in the wild, neglected garden stands something no ledger can ever account for: a vast and alien tree, lovely and faintly terrible, that has bound the wastrel to it body and soul. As the two men circle their old contempt, the merchant feels the ground of his certainties begin to tilt, and half-senses – without daring to believe – that his beggared brother may guard the one treasure no fortune on earth can buy.
