Produktbeschreibung

A brisk, heart-warming journey into the New England woods, The Adventures Of Reddy Fox invites young readers to step into a world where cleverness and kindness meet the rhythms of the forest. Thornton W. Burgess's enduring stories blend classic childrens literature with the gentle wit of aesop style animal fables. This revised edition presents a concise, accessible tale that works beautifully as part of an early reader collection, while offering parents and teachers a gateway to nature education for kids. Set against an American rural countryside of cedar and stone, the adventures unfold with life in woodland as its heartbeat, inviting children to observe animal characters, consequences, and compassionate choices without didactic weight. Historically, Burgess helped shape a generation's sense of nature and ethics, and this restored edition honours that heritage for today's generation. It appeals to casual readers seeking a comforting, timeless adventure and to classic-literature collectors who value provenance, authorial voice, and period atmosphere. This is more than a reprint; it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, preserved for future generations to enjoy and learn from. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is carefully restored for modern readers while respecting its original charm. A warmly engaging, illustrated classic for kids that fosters imagination, responsibility, and wonder about the natural world.

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.
