Old Granny Fox

Thornton Waldo Burgess (January 17, 1874-June 5, 1965), an American conservationist and author of children's stories, loved nature’s living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years in books and his newspaper column, "Bedtime Stories". Old Granny Fox is the tale of Granny Fox and her grandkit Reddy Fox who live in the Green Forest near the Green Meadows with the Smiling Pool and the Laughing Brook. Old Granny Fox has to restrain Reddy, who is headstrong and inexperienced. He sees Brown’s farm - the henhouse in particular - as an easy source of food, so Granny has to educate him about the perils. The anthropomorphized characters and their thoughts and conversations are quite believable, and the plot is engaging and filled with suspense.
