. The Sequoias of California No tale of the forest is complete without some account of the giant sequoias of California, which are among the largest and oldest trees in the world.

The sequoias or big trees are relics of another age. Long, long ago these giants of the forest first began to grow.

Centuries have passed, but still they live, vigorous and mighty as of old. Many thousand years ago these aged trees grew all over the northern half of the earth.

Sequoias turned to stone have been found in Greenland. Greenland then was "green" indeed, a lovely spot on the earth's surface.

Now it is a frozen waste; these stone trees alone remind us of what it was like ages ago. To-day, in the twentieth century, but a few of these sequoias remain.

Their home is on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California, where they grow more than a mile above the level of the sea. These trees of wonderful age were first discovered less than a hundred years ago.

In 1841 an old hunter and explorer named John Bid well was making a trip on foot through the mountain woodlands of eastern California. One day he came upon a group of monster trees.

There were at least a hundred of them standing together. He had never seen trees half so large as these, and when he returned to his home he told his friends wonderful tales of the forest giants he had seen.

Those trees are now owned by the government of the United States. They form what is known as the Calaveras Grove.

During the last few years the government has bought several groves of these big trees. But into some of the groves men had already gone and, with ax and saw, and even gunpowder, destroyed many of the noble old trees.

The sequoias are so lasting that, even when fallen, they lie on the ground for hundreds of years without ..

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, a baby is born. A racy, pulse-quickening novel, this story is crammed with fascinating history, remarkable women, and passionate men--famous and infamous.

"The Innocent" marks the debut of a sexy, striking trilogy. The year is 1450, a dangerous time in medieval Britain.

Civil unrest is at its peak and the legitimacy of the royal family is suspect. Meanwhile, deep in the forests of western England, a baby is born.

Powerful forces plot to kill both mother and child, but somehow the newborn girl survives. Her name is Anne.

Fifteen years later, England emerges into a fragile but hopeful new age, with the charismatic young King Edward IV on the throne. Anne, now a young peasant girl, joins the household of a wealthy London merchant.

Her unusual beauty provokes jealousy, lust, and intrigue, but Anne has a special quality that saves her: a vast knowledge of healing herbs. News of her extraordinary gift spreads, and she is called upon to save the ailing queen.

Soon after, Anne is moved into the palace, where she finds her destiny with the man who will become the greatest love of her life -- the king himself. Posie Graeme Evans has contributed to The Innocent as an author.

Posie Graeme-Evans has worked in the Australian film and television industry for the last thirty years as an editor, director, and producer on hundreds of primetime television programs, including "McLeod's Daughters" and "Hi-5." She lives in Tasmania with her husband and creative partner, Andrew Blaxland.
