“‘I have travelled a good deal in Concord,’ Thoreau wrote in Walden, famously mocking the notion that travel takes place beyond the borders of one’s hometown. Devotees of the transcendentalist philosopher will be grateful that, nearly two centuries later, Gaskell took up residence in the adjacent town of Lexington and fixed his uncommon powers of perception on his erstwhile neighbor’s life and writing, traveling imaginatively with Thoreau to yield this extraordinary book. Gaskell unsettles and expands our understanding of Thoreau by homing in on the sensory particulars of his surroundings, cherished revelations of worlds past, present, and still to come.” -- Megan Marshall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'Margaret Fuller: A New American Life'
