Suddenly trees become rampant, growing at a fantastic rate to conquer any spare land, block roads, take over unoccupied rooms in houses, and possibly cause the disappearance of babies, always the fourth child (at least) of a family.

And far in the future, when technology has all but vanished, two princes and their followers find themselves on similar quests that willtake them back in time.
Dora will find out about the future. The trees keep growing . . .
