The Wollemi Pine by James Woodford
Louis
Braille Audio
I couldn't imagine the non fiction book,
The Wollemi pine: the incredible discovery
of a living fossil from the
age of the dinosaurs being read on
CD, but sent from Louis Braille Audio, I listened. And what a tale. It
sounds like a detective story, with information given about the
characters as they go about their search and identification of the pine
tree discovered in the Blue Mountains in 1974, alongside the most
incredible and involving detail about the beginnings of time in
Australia, its flora and fauna, and most incredibly, the sex life of
pines.
It is a story so engrossing that I couldn't stop listening. The
journalistic style suits the story and the reading by Paul English adds
flair and an almost covert feeling to the whole.
