Title: A home for Mr. Emerson
Description: "Before Ralph Waldo Emerson was a great writer, he was a city boy who longed for the broad, open fields and deep, still woods of the country, and then a young man who treasured books, ideas, and people.  When he grew up and set out in the world, he wondered, could he build a life around these things he loved?  This tender and joyful portrait of the man whose vision helped shape the American spirit illustrates the rewards of a life well lived, one built around personal passions: creativity and community, nature and friendship"--Jacket flap.
