Books with title Mr. Emerson's Cook

This story, which weaves fact and fiction, is as rich and satisfying as the warm apple pie that Annie cooks. With lyrical language that begs to be read aloud and illustrations full of whimsy and warmth, this book extols not only the extraordinary Mr. Emerson but the power of the imagination.

American philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson is so immersed in his own imagination that he has stopped eating, and it takes down-to-earth Irish cook Annie Burns to assume the challenge of cooking for the great man.

Weaving together reality and fiction, author-illustrator Judith Schachner has created an extraordinary book that centers around American philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and his household's cook who's just arrived from Ireland. Full color.
