Though not a biographical work, this book illustrates the driving force behind most of Thoreau's most famous works, his ceaseless excursions into nature. Built heavily on the quotes that Locker extracted from Thoreau's writing, this book provides a clear understanding of the man that Thoreau strove

to be. The paintings are beautiful, as are all of the paintings that Locker creates: highly detailed, colorful, entrancing. I know I've said it in my other reviews of Locker's work, but I feel like I could walk into his paintings and be completely at ease in the new setting. Though this isn't the book to read if you are looking for a chronology of his life, this is an excellent source to consult if you are attempting to better understand Thoreau's source of motivation.
