"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. Less
