    The Man Who Planted Trees

    Written by French author Jean Giono, published in 1953

    Animated by Frédéric Back, for the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) in 1987

    The Man Who Planted Trees was originally a book, and as much as I wish it were a true story, sadly it is not. This is a longer half-hour animation in pastels.

      I have (or had) two versions of the short book. The 1989 CBC book with images from the animation is the one you want.
