Thoreau: Reporter of the Universe. A selection of his writings about Nature, for all readers from eight years old to eighty. Edited by Bertha Stevens. The John Day Company, 1939. Hardcover with dust jacket in plastic sleeve. Dust jacket shows edge wear beneath the plastic, and the cover of the spine has changed with time and sunlight. Book is otherwise in good condition. An early "quote book," so to speak, with passages and illustrations drawn from Henry Thoreau's journal. Pieces are retitled.
