Synopsis: The final harvest of a great writer's last years, Wild Fruits presents Henry David Thoreau's sacramental vision of nature - a vision compelling in part because it grew out of an approach to the natural world at once scientific and mystical. The difficulties of Thoreau's handwriting, method of composition, notations and pagination have kept his final observations and meditations from publication until now; thanks to the assiduous efforts of Bradley Dean, this great work has been brought to light.
