Followed by the lark
(Book)

"Henry measured and recorded the temperature on and around Walden Pond across the seasons. He built a cabin on its banks and lived there mostly alone - for two years, two months and two days. Inspired by the letters and diaries of Henry David Thoreau, this novel shows how strikingly similar the concerns of the early nine-teenth century are to our own, and reminds us to listen for news of change: the song of spring's first bluebird, reports from those who have heard it, and all the sounds and fearful wonders that come after."--,Provided by publisher.
