About this book

A curl of grey hair saved in a diary becomes a small record of family affection in this gathering of three poems by Louisa May Alcott. The verses honour her father, Bronson Alcott, as a thinker, teacher and seeker of truth. Alongside their reverence runs a gently teasing awareness of his thinning hair and his difficulty in making the world value what he offers.

An introductory account places the poems among the manuscripts at Fruitlands in Harvard, Massachusetts, recalling the communal experiment begun there in 1843. It also describes Bronson Alcott's ideas about education, farming and food, with passages from his own writing. Together, the commentary and verse offer readers interested in the Alcott family a close view of the affection surrounding an impractical idealist, expressed through household keepsakes, memories and images of a pilgrim carrying wisdom.
