Ralph Waldo Emerson's new cook Annie Burns writes despairingly to her mother that "what I'll be cooking for this man is a mystery." Emerson's imagination sustains him; he pushes aside food as unimportant. Finally, Annie reaches back into her own childhood imaginings to create a dish--"Sunrise Pie"--that piques Emerson's appetite. Loose-lined watercolors illustrate a charming bit of fictionalized history about the author's great-grandmother.
