Thornton Burgess Books
First published in 1913 by the author of Old Mother West Wind and many other children's classics, these books have now been completely reset in large easy-to-read type with six new illustrations by Thea Kliros based on Harrison Cady's charming originals. The stories are about entertaining adventures among "the lesser folk in fur and feathers," created by a beloved storyteller and conservationist. Our son particularly loved these books as a child and well into his teen years – reading over and over again. (paperback)
