The Birch: Bright Tree of Life and Legend
"Buy the book if you are keen on the birch or interested in tree mythology and North tribes, especially the Anishinaabeg (Northern Ojibway)."  --Arboricultural Journal, November 1995"Subtitled Bright Tree of Life and Legend, this book details for the reader more natural history, more super-natural history, more quoted verse and prose, and more nicely executed black and white drawings about the tree commonly known as the paper birch than one could possibly believe interesting. Surprise, surprise, the book holds the reader's interest, and causes this reviewer to wonder how Peyton knew that 73 pages are exactly enough to cover the subject."  --The Roanoke Times & World News, October 2, 1994
