A mood poem describing a trek through the wilderness by Thoreau and the appreciation he felt for nature is accompanied by Locker's signature lush landscapes. The book concludes with a page of quotations by Thoreau. This elegantly designed volume will probably appeal mostly to contemplative adults; for children, D. B. Johnson's Henry Hikes to Fitchburg may serve as a better introduction to Thoreau.
