Adventure Of Old Mr Toad

The creatures of the Green Meadow were greatly puzzled by Old Mr. Toad's behavior. He was in a great hurry, you see, and Mr. Toad NEVER hurried-as all his friends knew-unless he was in danger. This delightful tale by famed storyteller Thornton W Burgess (of the 35 best-selling Dover Children's Thrifts, 12 are by Burgess!), draws young readers into the timeless world of the Green Forest and Smiling Pool, where they'll find Jimmy Skunk, Peter Rabbit, Unc' Billy Possum, and a host of other woodland animals secretly trailing the old gentleman through field and forest as he makes his way to a very important engagement. First published in 1916, The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad will transport today's young readers and listeners to the same fictional world of nature and animals that has delighted generations of children before them, who have enjoyed the warmth and whimsy of a Burgess story while coming away with gentle lessons about nature, the environment, and the "lesser folk of fur and feathers."

Republication, in association with the Thornton W Burgess Museum and the Green Briar Center, Sandwich, Massachusetts, of the edition published by Little, Brown, and Company, Boston, 1927. 5 black-and-white line illustrations by Pat Stewart after the original paintings by Harrison Cady. 80pp. 5 3/16" x 8 1/4", September 1998, Paperbd.
