Mother West Wind 'Why' Stories
by Thornton W. BURGESS (1874 - 1965)
Thornton W. Burgess was a conservationist and prolific author of children's books. His gently humorous stories about the animals of the meadows and woods teach little lessons about getting along with others; they are perfect bedtime stories for small children. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)
