Japanese Maple. Had one by the front door of the house I grew up in. Reminds me of my childhood home.

I still have my original collection from the 1970s. Back then, they sent you a plastic green box (in those days, it was called “Illustrared Wildlife Treasury”) to hold all your cards. That was before the 3-ring binder.

The Children’s Story by James Clavell.

IIRC, the book takes about 20 minutes to read and the events that take place occur in real time.
