  • Description and Reviews

    In the last years of his life, Thoreau resolved to learn better the science behind nature, and in Wild Fruits he collected the lore and facts surrounding the plants around his home, observing such things as the quantity of chestnuts that local trees were producing, the myriad shapes of pine cones as they unfold, the taste of “fever bush,” and the smell of sweet gale. summarized from Amazon.com [reviews|asin=]
