Produktbeschreibung

The adventures of Mr. Mocker is written by Thornton W. Burgess. To bring joy and gladness to the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, the Laughing Brook, and the Smiling Pool, Mistress Spring begins from far to the South. Winsome Bluebird goes just a little way ahead of her, for he is the herald of Mistress Spring. When all the other little people in feathers had flown to that faraway country, then did this friend of Ol' Mistah Buzzard make up his mind that he would go too. He didn't say anything about it to anyone, but he just started off by himself. Uncle Billy Possum and Mr. Mocker had a moonlight party in the Green Forest. When they heard about it, they became anxious to see the stranger with the wonderful voice. Peter Rabbit followed him around just to hear him fool others by making his voice sound like theirs. When he learned that some people believed Mr. Mocker had not obtained his voice honestly, Ol' Mistah Buzzard chuckled.

Autorenporträt

Thornton W. Burgess (1874-1965) was an American author and naturalist best known for his enthralling children's books that brought the animal world to life. Burgess, who was born on January 14, 1874, in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and died on June 5, 1965, was a fervent advocate for nature education and conservation. Burgess is well recognized for his charming animal stories that combine fiction and natural history knowledge. He created endearing characters and fascinating narratives that both delighted and taught young readers about various animal behaviors and ecosystems. "Old Granny Fox," a children's book released in 1918, is one of his best-known works. The story is part of Burgess' long-running series "The Adventures of Johnny Chuck," which features a cast of endearing animal characters who teach important life lessons while navigating their wooded setting. "Old Granny Fox" follows the shrewd and crafty Granny Fox as she attempts to outwit her fellow forest dwellers. Burgess' storytelling not only instills a sense of adventure, but also crucial lessons about the consequences of one's actions and the delicate balance of nature.
