It does what it says on the tin, and that keeps me happy. I love trees, and I think they really are very inspiring. I've spent considerable time with a notepad beside my favourite tree on the Scottish west coat. Maybe one day someone will go and visit it and look across the Clyde and try and figure out where my inspiration came from. But that's just me. I'm not an American Great.
Flannery O'Connor and Carson McCullers are favourites of mine, and I'd personally love to take a visit to their writing land. Horan does just that, and takes a look round the gardens of writers such as Harper Lee, Willa Cather, Jack Kerouc and Robert Frost (to name but a few). The anecdotes are coupled with Horan's own personal findings, and the result is a cute and interesting read. Robert Frost's section was particularly moving and reminded me that I really ought to revisit his poetry.
Maybe I should avoid using the word 'cute' to describe Seeds. It's endearing and, more than that, it's always fun to see where clever minds find their inspiration, and where they like to write. The world owes a lot to trees! And I am very grateful!
