The Disappointed Squirrel - Illustrated by Marguerite Kirmse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781528702621)

"The Disappointed Squirrel and Other Stories" is a charming collection of short stories concerning the daily lives and adventures of various animals. William Henry Hudson (1841 - 1922) was an Argentinian naturalist, author, and ornithologist. Other notable works by this author include: "Argentine Ornithology" (1888-1899), "British Birds" (1895), and "A Shepherd's Life" (1910). This lovely collection will appeal to nature lovers both young and old, and it would make for a superb addition to collections of vintage literature. Contents include: "Adventures with Foxes", "The Disappointed Squirrel", "Jack Jackdaw and some Other Birds", "The Man Who Ate a Heron", "My Friend the Pig", "Cristiano: A Horse", "Mary's Little Lamb", "A Friendly Rat", "The Potato at Home and in England", "The Little Red Dog", and "Johnny-Go-to-Bed-at-Noon". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction.
