Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos

The Old Willow Tree, and Other Stories is a collection of children's stories by Carl Ewald, first published in 1921. The narratives anthropomorphize trees and plants, exploring themes of identity, acceptance, and beauty through rich characterizations. The titular story follows a willow tree struggling to fit in among proud poplars, ultimately discovering its own worth and the value of resilience. This work highlights the emotional lives of flora in contrast to societal expectations, making it a notable contribution to juvenile fiction.
