A few brief but unaltered excerpts, carefully placed in context by
an introduction and with ellipses scrupulously indicated, touch on
the activities of a year's cycle and give the young reader a first
taste of this beloved 19th-century author's account of his solitary
stay in a pond-side cabin. With their dramatic use of black
combined with the subtle tones of nature, Sabuda's handsome
linoleum-cut illustrations recall Tejima's work in wood; quietly
reflecting Thoreau's own reverence for his surroundings, they are
sure to attract readers. Whether such abridgments are worthwhile is
always debatable, but this one is done with such sensibility to its
source that it's worth consideration. (Kirkus Reviews)
In this classic of American literature, Thoreau gives an account of
his two years experience of the 'simple life' in the woods, telling
how he sought and found material and spiritual sustenance in the
solitude of the cabin which he built for himself on the shore of
Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts.
