Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is a novel written by Murray Bail under the pen name Kinney Abbot. The story revolves around a man named Holland who lives on a large property in Australia and has a passion for planting eucalyptus trees. He declares that whoever can name all the species of eucalyptus on his land can marry his daughter Ellen. Many men try to win Ellen's hand, but none succeed until a stranger named Mr. Cave arrives and tells her stories about each tree, weaving a magical tale that captures her heart. As they journey through the property, Ellen discovers more about herself and the world around her. The novel is a lyrical exploration of love, nature, and storytelling, and has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape and its unique characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
