This is not actually the version of this story that I read. I read it as part of a compilation of Calvino's stories. It is the tale of a young man who determines that he will live the rest of his life in the treetops. It was recommended to me by a university professor who gave me the high compliment of saying my story reminded him of this one. Well, he was exaggerating I am certain. Calvino writes beautiful and whimsical stories in an unusual and captivating style.
