### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A book to savour slowly over time.
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014*

Thoreau is an interesting character, but he can be too much at once.This collection of his best thoughts is well chosen and concentrated. It resists a quick reading. If Thoreau is about anything he's about having time to stop and stare and think. This book also makes you stop and think.In this book you have a good collection of his thoughts, presented at their crux points, without the meandering narrative to reach them.  This saves time in reading, but means you need to allow yourself to be stopped in your tracks every so often. For someone who reads as quickly as I do this can be a bit disconcerting.In this context however it is a great pleasure to be stopped. Roderick McIver's illustrations compliment the text beautifully, and making stopping a moment or two pleasurable.There's a huge amount to savour in this book- both Thoreau's thoughts and McIver's illustrations. The book is beautifully produced and printed, and this is one to get as a physical book, not in an electronic format.I can recommend this book to those readers who are willing to take time to savour it, and maybe return to it several times in the future.

    Great present
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020*

This beautifully illustrated book made a great high school graduation present.  I have also given it to "older" adults as a gift.  Everyone has been appreciative upon receiving this book.
