4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful, old fashioned romance among the redwoods.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Valley of the Giants (Hardcover)
Written in in 1918, this is the story of one man's struggle to hold onto his inheritance--the 'valley of the giants' (the redwoods), and win the affection of the girl he loves, while remaining true to his ideals. I enjoyed this book because of its references to, and descriptions of, the awe-inspiring California redwoods.

Heartwarming Story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Valley of the Giants (Hardcover)
This is a heartwarming story of an admirable young man's commitment to his and his father's shared ideals-the family's redwood timberland and his mother's memory-and the wonderful relationship he has with his father. A star-crossed romance, adventure, and the struggle against a ruthless business rival (the guardian of his sweetheart) add excitement. Reminiscent of stories by Willa Cather and John Steinbeck.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Valley of the Giants,
By ts (Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Valley of the Giants (Hardcover)
I was helping a friend move from house to house and stumbled upon this book in the old library. I needed something to do during lunches so I started flipping through it. Couldn't put it down until I finished.
