Mother West Wind "How" Stories

Thornton W. Burgess' little nature stories are as delightful in adulthood as in childhood, which is, as C. S. Lewis said, proof of a good children's book.

Visit The Green Meadows, the Green Forest, the Briar Patch, or the Smiling Pool and find Peter Rabbit, Grandfather Frog (the wise old storyteller), Billy Mink, King Bear, Mr. Weasel, Mr. Owl, Reddy the Squirrel, and all the other happy animals who live and play and learn in the wonderful world Mr. Burgess constructed from the places of his childhood.

This is yet another wonderful story to read as an adult and re-live childhood fantasy or read to a grandchild to grow aware of his or her heritage and the joys of nature.
