Description
Winter, published in 1888, gathers the winter entries from Henry Thoreau's great journal. H. Blake, Thoreau's friend and editor, drew them from the journals Thoreau kept for over twenty years. The full journal ran to fourteen volumes in print.
Thoreau walks Concord's ponds and woods through snow, ice, and thaw, noting every track and bird. Walden Pond in winter, woodchucks, owls, and the first hints of spring all pass his keen eye. His entries mix plain fact with sudden poetry. For readers new to the journal, this seasonal volume is a gentle and beautiful entry point.
