The Transcendental Murder

Начало книги

Ruth Wheeler of Fairhaven Bay is in no way responsible for the wild idea behind this book, but her knowledge of Henry Thoreau in Concord was a great help in the writing of The Transcendental Murder.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

Homer Kelly... celebrated Emersonian scholar. (In his opinion Concord was a polite little suburban pest-hole, living on its picayune history. It made him sick.)

Mary Morgan... Concord? Mary would never have said as much out loud, but she felt herself walking on holy ground. (Looking at her, Homer found himself mumbling a phrase by Thoreau, "The eye is the jewel of the body.")

Arthur Furry ... Honor Scout. (Practically a witness to the murder at the North Bridge on the anniversary of the celebrated Battle of April 19th, 1775.)

Alice Herpitude... Head Librarian, Concord Public Library. (Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me.)

Teddy Staples... stone mason, bird-watcher, modest reincarnation of Henry Thoreau.
