Description

Henry David Thoreau took four walking tours of Cape Cod from 1849 to 1857, and the result’s what Walter Harding referred to as his “”sunniest, happiest book. It bubbles over with jokes, puns, tall tales, and genial excellent humor.”” Thoreau’s Cape Cod comes vividly to life on this exquisite edition, with the assistance of Dan Tobyne’s brilliant color photography. Tobyne committed himself to “”walking the walk”” – retracing Thoreau’s steps to seek out what can still be seen of Thoreau’s Cape Cod. Tobyne’s images are matched to the corresponding passages from Thoreau’s text. We will be grateful that much of the pristine good looks that inspired the naturalist 150 years ago continues to be there to inspire and uplift us lately.
