Clara Barrus knew the naturalist John Burroughs as few did, and here she gathers his autobiographical sketches with her own portrait of the man. From his boyhood ancestry to winter days at his cabin Slabsides, the poet-naturalist comes fully into view. An intimate life of a beloved writer. Meet Burroughs at home among his woods and words.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
