This little book is not just a fantastical, mythological, tale. It is more of a warning. One people need to take on board.
The tale fluctuates between the inner thoughts, considerations, and musings of trees and human dialogue of proposed intent. All characters (tree and human) are well presented enabling the reader to visualise them as well as the circumstances each find themselves in.
Despite the generally increasing environmental consciousness of modern society, much still goes on that is harmful and cruel. Why should nature put up with it? Why not retaliate?
Though this is a serious tale it is written in a manner that may also be found amusing. In fact, it would not be surprising to find readers cheering along with the supposedly downtrodden.
As implied earlier, this is a short book (equivalent to thirteen print pages), it would therefore spoil it for potential readers to share more.
A well written, insightful, story (warning) that every reader should heed.

Tiouched Me To My Core
A L Butcher's story The Last Forest touched me deeply. I was transported into a time and place I only walk in my dreams, for I believe trees live, think, and care.
Beautifully written story. Highly recommended.
