Contents include: "The History Of The Apple-tree," "The Wild Apple," "The Crab," "How The Wild Apple Grows," "The Fruit, And Its Flavor," "Their Beauty," "The Naming Of Them," "The Last Gleaning," and The 'Frozen-thawed' Apple." Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) was an American poet, philosopher, essayist, abolitionist, naturalist, development critic, and historian. He was also a leading figure in Transcendentalism, and is best known for his book "Walden," a treatise on simple living in a natural environment. Other notable works by this author include: "The Landlord" (1843), "Reform and the Reformers" (1846-48), and "Slavery in Massachusetts" (1854). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher known for his transcendentalist beliefs and writings on nature, simplicity, and civil disobedience. His most notable works include "Walden," a reflection on living a simple life in harmony with nature, and "Civil Disobedience," a call for individual resistance to unjust laws.

Thoreau's writing style is characterized by its introspective and philosophical nature, as well as its vivid descriptions of the natural world. His works have had a lasting impact on environmental literature and the development of the conservation movement. "Walden" remains his most famous work, exploring themes of self-reliance, individualism, and the importance of living deliberately. Thoreau's contributions to literature continue to inspire readers to seek a deeper connection with nature and live more intentionally.
