Walden West, reissued here for the first time since its original publication in 1961, is considered by many to be Sauk City author August Derleth’s masterpiece. Derleth was a chronicler with his ear uniquely attuned to his hometown. In his Sac Prairie Saga, of which Walden West is the crowning volume, he captures the essences of midwestern village life with his distinctive combination of narrative and prose-poetry. The book is a seamless series of anecdotes, meditations, character sketches, evocations of the landscape, and celebrations of its human and animal life.
