rness Ways" is written in the same intensely interesting style as
its predecessor, "Ways of Wood Folk." The hidden life of the wilderness
is here presented by sketches and stories gathered, not from books or
hearsay, but from the author's personal contact with wild things of
every description.
SECRETS OF THE WOODS
184 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents; mailing price, 60 cents
This is another chapter in the shy, wild life of the fields and woods.
Little Toohkees, the wood mouse that dies of fright in the author's
hand; the mother otter, Keeonekh, teaching her little ones to swim; and
the little red squirrel with his many curious habits,--all are presented
with the same liveliness and color that characterize the descriptions in
the first two volumes. The illustrations by Charles Copeland are
unusually accurate in portraying animal life as it really exists in its
native haunts.
WOOD FOLK AT SCHOOL
186 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents; mailing price, 60 cents
The title of this new book suggests the central thought about which the
author has grouped some of his most fascinating animal studies. To him
"the summer wilderness is one vast schoolroom in which a multitude of
wise, patient mothers are teaching their little ones the things they
must know in order to hold their place in the world and escape unharmed
from a hundred dangers." This book, also, is adequately illustrated by
Charles Copeland.
A LITTLE BROTHER TO THE BEAR
178 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents; mailing price, 60 cents
This latest book in the Wood Folk Series contains observations covering
a period of nearly thirty years. Some of the chapters represent the
characteristics of animals of the same species, and others show the
acute intelligence of certain individual animals that nature seems to
have lifted far above the level of their fellows. The book is well
illustrated and is the most noteworthy contribution to nature literature
during the past two years.
