Thornton W. Burgess who
died in 1965 at the age of 91 wrote over 170 books and 15,000 stories
throughout his life. His characters, such as: Peter Rabbit, Joe
Otter, Hooty the Owl, Jerry Muskrat, and Bobby Raccoon are famous
worldwide.
These stories were
originally intended as part of a calender, with a few different ones
designated for each month. Although they are over 80 years old,
they still hold up beautifully, especially when read as one, long,
continuing story.
