From ants to zephyr, this alphabetic treatment introduces readers to various aspects of Thoreau's life at Walden Pond. McCurdy references Thoreau's writing and illustrates each page with wood engravings previously published in an edition of Walden. The handsome book is the briefest of introductions to a significant person and place.
