Translated by
Agathe Joly.
Illustrated by
Anja Klauss.
An old woman gives young Djalil a special seed. Years later, when Djalil eats the tree's fruit, he has a vision of a terrible flood and warns the kingdom before its dikes break. The folkloric-feeling story, inspired by Klimt's
Tree of Life frieze, is faithfully illustrated in his lavish, decorative art nouveau style. A reproduction of the source work and biographical information are included.
