Description

Walton, Richard K. and John Huehnergard. Henry David Thoreau, Speaking for Nature. [DVD] Three Rivers Productions, 2006. (sealed) Walk with Thoreau on an early spring morning as he delights in the arrival of redwings-"calling the river to life and tempting the ice to melt." Follow him into a meadow where "the air is liquid with the bluebirds' warble." Paddle up the Assabet to search out painted turtles and the earliest blossoms of the silver maple. Join Thoreau as he solves the mystery fo his "dream frog," collects starflowers, violets, and marigolds, and tracks the red fox along the river bank. Thoreau's narrative is contagious, his senses ever alert-the "parti-colored" tints of autumn leaves, the "sweet, wild world" embodied in the wood thrush's song, and "primitive fragrance" of the hay-scented fern. Travel with Thoreau through the "wilds" of Concord and rediscover many of the same delights.
