I read a version of Tristan and Isolde in which a kind of time share agreement was worked out in which Isolde would be with one man while trees had leaves and with the other when the leaves fell. Tristan's rival picked the time leaves would be off suce winter nights are longer. Isolde then revealed that Morrois forest only had three kinds of tree, none of which lose their leaves.
Does anyone know where I can find that version of the story?
