“Henry and the Huckleberries beautifully conveys Henry David Thoreau’s love of nature and his tenderness toward children. Louisa May Alcott adored Henry, went on many of his huckleberry parties, and later wrote of their excursions, often weaving him into her fiction. Louisa would have loved this charming book, based on an actual huckleberry party with her young friend, Edward Emerson. Alcott fans are in for a treat!”
~ Jan Turnquist, Executive Director of Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House, Home of Little Women
“...a compelling story true to Thoreau’s character and his kind and empathetic understanding of children...a welcome and needed addition to the Bicentennial of Thoreau’s birth.”
~ Jeffrey S. Cramer, Curator of Collections, The Walden Woods Project/The Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods
