Book Description
"We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds." --Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The American Scholar," 1837 From the start of transcendentalism and America's intellectual renaissance in the 1830s, to the Civil War and beyond, the story of four extraordinary friends whose lives shaped a nation "Beginning in the 1830s, coincidences that seem almost miraculous in retrospect brought together in Concord as friends and neighbors four men of very different temperaments and talents who shared the same conviction that the soul had 'inherent power to grasp the truth' and that the truth would make men free of old constraints on thought and behavior. In addition to Emerson, a philosopher, there was Amos Bronson Alcott, an educator; Henry David Thoreau, a naturalist and rebel; and Nathaniel Hawthorne, a novelist. This book is the story of that unique and influential friendship in action, of the lives the friends led, and their work that resulted in an enduring change in their nation's direction." --From the Prologue

Book Description
Traveling to the far side of the mountain for their big show, the members of a string quartet end up lost in this charming picture book by N. M. Bodecker. The Daffodil String Quartet has spent months preparing for their upcoming concert. Shining the instruments and practicing extra hard, they are certain this will be one of their best shows yet. But as they travel along the road in their small Italian car on the way to their concert on the far side of the mountain, one disastrous wrong turn leaves them lost in the mountains with no sense of direction. Will the Daffodil String Quartet make it to their concert, or will all of their hard work have been for nothing?
