Twelve Henry David Thoreau Bookmarks (Dover Bookmarks)

"Lovely!!!! More beautiful than I expected!" according to LittleWomenMama. These are beautiful! I also had ordered the garden fairy bookmarks, emily dickenson bookmarks, and the Monet bookmarks, but these Henry David Thoreau bookmarks are my favorite! The picture on the cover isn't as beautiful as the ones on the inside. There are also bookmarks with a winter scene, a farm scene, a man under a tree by a stream, a buck at sunset, a fall scene and other various nature pictures. I loved them all. Definitely worth the $2!. Charming and very handy bookmarks Here are even more delightful bookmarks from the Dover series and they are very nice indeed. They are about 2"x6", printed on heavy coated stock, and neatly and easily separate from the perforated pages. Each bookmark has an excerpt from one of Thoreau's writings and an appropriate and colorful illustration on the opposite side. Unfortunately, the artist's name is missing so we'll never know who did the illustrations.These will make a nice little additional gift when you give a book to someone and will even make a nice, handy little gift for yourself. "The Quotes from Thoreau Were a Pleasure to Read" according to Nancy Sherburne. I had needed a regular bookmark for some time as the one I was using started to curl from the heat of a Tucson summer. When my set of 12 Thoreau bookmarks arrived I was captivated by the illustrations and the quotes from the naturalist. I knew of the man, but was very surprised to find out he was only 55 years old when he died. I decided to use the bookmarks in the order they were placed and had no trouble tearing out the first one. My only problem is it seems a little short, so I gave it four stars, but other than that, it is of very good quality, with a smooth finish and bright colors. It gives me peace of mind to know that when #1 is ready

A dozen 2" x 5¾" bookmarks on 6 plates; quotations printed on backs.  . "Nature is full of genius, full of divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand." Pithy, pleasing and sometimes profound sentiments by Thoreau are beautifully enhanced by the lovely watercolor illustrations on these bookmarks
