The Wishing Tree by William Faulkner (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Wishing Tree with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Wishing Tree by William Faulkner, a fairy tale-like novel for children in which a young girl and her friends follow a strange redhead boy on a quest for a tree that fulfills wishes. They have all sorts of wondrous adventures and learn a valuable life lesson, before the young girl wakes up in her bed and realizes it was all a dream. Faulkner was an influential American writer during the 20th century and his works earned him a Nobel Prize in Literature and a Pulitizer Prize for Fiction. Nonetheless, Faulkner detested the fame and glory that came along with his recognition, instead wanting to simply write because it was his passion, rather than in order to earn money and renown. While The Wishing Tree is perhaps not his most well-known novel, it is certainly a heart-warming and enjoyable read for children and adults alike.
