Yeah, this was written for those like me, the childlike!
Even as a kidult, this is still a wonderful read (reread) for me. Truly a magical story with beautiful illustrations.

so-soI thought Ms Parker was a happy, witty day drinker. But this oeuvre to suicide says that was not so. She attempted suicide three times then finally her broken heart gave up. The poems are excellent, but not so worthy that you should read this if the topic frightens you because I also found that it was not enlightening in any way.
“Between two tall gate-posts of rough-hewn stone we beheld the gray front of the old parsonage, terminating the vista off of an avenue of black-ash trees.”
There‘s something magical about seeing a place described so perfectly by an author. We stumbled upon the Old Manse while hiking near the North Bridge. Emerson and Hawthorne both lived here, but it was Hawthorne who memorialized it.
