I must confess that my interest in Chestnut trees is all because of Barbara Kingsolver’s adult novel Prodigal Summer; that I have loved for years. This non fic explains all about the chestnut blight that basically wiped out the American Chestnut tree. It’s great science blended with stories of the scientists and researchers who have spent years trying to save these great trees. 8-19-18
