The families named Pughe, Lloyd, and Pryce have been born and raised for over 400 years underneath the mythical Giant's Chair. They are the Giant's Children. Their story begins with Richard son of Hugh who sold a part of Pughe land on the 9th of November 1625, and ends with the generation of Hugh Pughe Lloyd and his sister Catherine Pryce Lloyd, my mother, who both died in the 1980's. Family members have set out for London as drovers either to be wrestling champions at Smithfield, or guardians of their sons going up to Oxford University, others to be farmers, fell runners, teachers, tanners, dyers and printers, individuals who made their mark in the Cadair Idris locality.

A venerable saguaro cactus stands like a statue in the hot desert landscape, its armlike branches reaching fifty feet into the air. From a distance it appears to be completely still and solitary--but appearances can be deceptive. In fact, this giant tree of the desert is alive with activity. Its spiny trunk and branches are home to a surprising number of animals, and its flowers and fruit feed many desert dwellers. Gila woodpeckers and miniature elf owls make their homes inside the saguaro's trunk. Long-nosed bats and fluttering white doves drink the nectar from its showy white flowers. People also play a role in the saguaro's story: each year the Tohono O'odham Indians gather its sweet fruit in a centuries-old harvest ritual. In this first volume of Sierra Club Books' Tree Tales series, a simple, easy-to-read text and appealing drawings document the life cycle of this amazing cactus tree and the creatures it helps to support. Readers will come away with a better understanding of and a lasting respect for this accomodating giant of the desert.
