Description
|
|
|
|
The illustrator who superbly illuminated the 150th anniversary edition of Walden, Michael McCurdy here applies his lush woodcut illustrations to an alphabetical appreciation of Walden Pond for all ages, and considers how it has changed in the past century and a half. Each cream-colored two-page spread presents a rhyming couplet of Henry David Thoreau's experience—"A is for the angry ants that Henry once saw battling; B is for the bean field in which noisy crows were prattling"—accompanied by McCurdy's woodcuts and short paragraphs describing the scene in his time and in our own.
