  The Baron in the Trees (1957, Il Barone Rampante) is an Italian novel by Italo Calvino. A metaphor for independence, it tells the adventures of a boy who will spend the rest of his adventurous life up in trees.

  One of my favorite books. This time re-read on a beach, with a real, breathing baron sitting in a tree just above.
