Originally published in 1922, Whitefoot the Woodmouse is part of the rich heritage of children's nature books left to us by Thornton W. Burgess. This edition includes the original four illustrations. * * * * There is not one of all the little people in the Green Forest who has so many enemies to watch out for as has Whitefoot the Woodmouse. There are ever so many who would like nothing better than to dine on plump little Whitefoot. There are Buster Bear and Billy Mink and Shadow the Weasel and Unc' Billy Possum and Hooty the Owl and all the members of the Hawk family, not to mention Blacky the Crow in times when other food is scarce. Reddy and Granny Fox and Old Man Coyote are always looking for him. * * * * Follow Whitefoot as he discovers the safety and dangers of Farmer Brown's Sugar House, what happens when he runs from Shadow the Weasel only to be discovered by Butcher the Shrike, how Timmy the Flying Squirrel becomes a good neighbor, and just who is making the mysterious drumming sound?
