Winthrop Packard walked to the homes of New England's writers and read the land that shaped them: Whittier's birthplace, Thoreau's Walden, old Concord, the Isles of Shoals. Part nature ramble, part literary pilgrimage, his essays braid landscape and letters together. A gentle tour for lovers of books and woods. Follow the trails that made the poets.
