Many readers think they know Henry David Thoreau, imagining the solitary curmudgeon with a shack out in the woods. But in this delightfully engaging book, Sullivan gives us a gregarious adventurer, who liked to go camping with friends, even if they sometimes burned the woods down. Sullivan's Thoreau is no lonely eccentric but a man who danced and sang, who worked throughout his short life at the family pencil-making business, who moved into his parents' house after leaving Walden Pond.
