Danny Meadow Mouse
Thornton Burgess's Danny Meadow Mouse, illustration by Harrison Cady. Favorite children's books of the Booth family for several generations. I believe that Danny and his family have been wintering in my side yard. As the drift by the old yellow rosebush has finally started to disappear, this is what I found emerging out of the snow. The doorway is on the lower right, and the occupants seem to have left for parts unknown.

nice..I wrote this book down gonna look for it..
Andora,
Thornton Burgess wrote a whole series in the 1920s and on. My dad had first editions from his childhood collection that all 4 of us kids covet. My grandson is 4th generation to hear them as bedtime stories. I still like to read them as escapist literature, they are fun and you learn stuff you didn't know. A field guide in story form.
