The Nordbaum Master Richard O Marsh

The Nordbaum Master is a mythological story about an old man who is charged by the woodsmen of the world to watch and protect all of the trees in his homeland area. Through a tiny fairy who has been long hidden in an ancient book about all trees, a tome that the Nordbaum Master keeps in his workroom and studies faithfully, does he learn about the spinning seeds of the Sugar Maple tree. He learns of the glorious colors of the leaves of the Sugar Maple that it displays in the fall of each year and in late winter the sweet sap that the Sugar Maple yields. The sweet sap that becomes Maple Syrup. The Nordbaum Master must find a boy who can grow to replace him in this work. With the help of the fairy they find John who lives along the Garden River.
