This collectible volume is famously illustrated by Harrison Cady, whose distinctive artwork brought Burgess's anthropomorphic characters to life for generations. Burgess, a prolific author and conservationist, used these tales to foster a love for "the lesser folk in fur and feathers" among children. This book is an ideal choice for collectors of antique children's literature, educators, or as a nostalgic addition to a nature-themed nursery library. Its classic blue cloth boards and early 20th-century charm make it a handsome display piece for any shelf dedicated to the golden age of children's storytelling.
This item is antique, over years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. Please note there is writing on the inside cover. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
