Richard Jones.
Walden's rhyming couplets introduce ten emotions, sometimes more successfully than others (jealous, described as "an emerald mist": "Your vision blurs--your mind is fixed on things you do not own, / and as green steam begins to rise, you give an envious moan"). Die-cuts place a hat-and-parka-clad boy in a different scene for each spread, a clever-ish way to illustrate how a feeling can change one's internal landscape.
