Thornton W. Burgess was an important and influential American conservationist and a prolific author of engaging children’s stories. For over 50 years, Burgess published numerous popular books on the flora and fauna of the natural world and wrote a regular newspaper column called “Bedtime Stories”. Often affectionately referred to as the “Bedtime Story-Man”, Burgess celebrated his love for the natural world through humorous and educational stories for children in both his books and in his popular column. First published in 1915, “The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel” features the escapades of one of his most frequent and beloved characters. Well-known in the forest as a naughty trouble-maker and often selfishly careless, he soon finds himself on the run and trying to avoid the clutches of Redtail the Hawk and Shadow the Weasel. Chatterer learns valuable lessons about being careful and trustworthy in this classic tale. Burgess had a special ability to combine an educational story about the behaviors, habitats, and characteristics of the creatures of the natural world while also captivating audiences both young and old. This edition includes a biographical afterword and the original illustrations by Harrison Cady.
