Thoreau of Walden Pond, 1959 Juvenile Biography

Thoreau of Walden Pond by Sterling North is a 1959 illustrated biography that introduces young readers to the life and ideas of Henry David Thoreau, blending nature writing, philosophy, and adventure through a clear, accessible narrative.

Published by Houghton Mifflin as part of the North Star Books series and illustrated by Harve Stein, this former library copy features a bright green cloth cover with bold midcentury artwork and interior illustrations throughout.

The book shows typical library markings, pockets, and light wear from age and use, but the binding remains solid and the pages are clean and readable.
