Inspired by a passage from Henry David Thoreau's WALDEN, this wonderfully appealing story follows two friends who have very different approaches to life. When the two agree to meet one evening in Fitchburg, which is thirty miles away, each decides to get there in his own way and have surprisingly different days.

This book is an excellent introduction to transcendentalism - and thought provoking for children and adults alike. The illustrations are a wonderful accompanyment to the story, and Henry is a sweet kind-hearted character.
