This unique “autobiography” of John Muir is told in his own words and is brimming with his spirit. The text was compiled by naturalist Joseph Cornell, author of Sharing Nature with Children. Joseph is well-loved for his ability to help others experience the joyous quality of nature. He is especially appreciated for his own childlike spirit that sparkles through his writings. Muir's aliveness, enthusiasm, and sensitive love for each animal and plant allow readers to experience a true hero. This book expands a sense of hope, adventure, and awareness for adults and young readers alike.
