Louisa May and Mr. Thoreau's Flute

32 pp. | Dial | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2470-5 $$16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Azarian. This story has the ring of authenticity, a feeling supported by Azarian's homely woodcuts, some of which resemble period samplers. Information in the brief prologue and afterword provides background for the main narrative, which focuses on how Louisa May Alcott discovers her own "voice" as she listens to the tunes that Thoreau coaxes from his flute. The text is quietly informative, easy to read, and attractively displayed.
