"Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom?"

Ace and Eva Calloway, two children living in the slums just outside a small town in Massachusetts, run off one day to explore the woods near Walden Pond. They stumble across an old cabin hidden deep in the forest. Creeping closer they soon discover that the cabin is in fact occupied. They have just made the acquaintance of none other than Henry David Thoreau.
As Ace and Eva enter the whimsical world of this 19th century genius, they live in the midst of poverty. Thoreau endeavors to show them that they are rich already, "if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days," and to teach them how to "live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."
