- Résumé : In the heart of a lush, verdant forest, a world of wonder and intrigue unfolds, where animals speak and nature's secrets are revealed. Set in the early 20th century, "Green Forest Stories" by Thornton W. Burgess invites readers into a realm where the boundaries between human and animal blur, offering a glimpse into the lives and adventures of its woodland inhabitants. This collection of tales captures the essence of a time when nature was both a playground and a teacher, reflecting the era's fascination with the natural world and its mysteries. The stories revolve around a cast of charming animal characters, each with their own quirks and personalities. From the mischievous antics of Peter Rabbit to the wise counsel of Grandfather Frog, these tales weave a tapestry of life lessons and moral dilemmas. The forest itself becomes a character, its ever-changing seasons and landscapes providing a backdrop for the unfolding drama. Themes of friendship, courage, and the consequences of one's actions are interwoven throughout, making this collection a timeless exploration of character and morality. Burgess's work is a celebration of the natural world, capturing the beauty and complexity of the forest ecosystem. His vivid descriptions and engaging narratives transport readers to a place where the simple joys of life are cherished and the importance of community is underscored. Through the eyes of his animal protagonists, we gain insight into the interconnectedness of all living things and the delicate balance that sustains them. By immersing us in the adventures of the Green Forest, this book offers a journey into a world where imagination and reality coexist, encouraging readers to appreciate the wonders of nature and the lessons it imparts. Through the trials and triumphs of its characters, we are reminded of the enduring values of kindness, perseverance, and respect for the environment.
- Biographie : Born January 17, 1874 in Sandwich, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, Burgess was the son of Caroline F. Haywood and Thornton W. Burgess Sr., a direct descendant of Thomas Burgess, one of the first Sandwich settlers in 1637. Thornton, Sr., died the same year his son was born, and the young Thornton, Jr. was brought up by his mother in Sandwich. They lived in humble circumstances. As a youth, he worked tending cows, picking trailing arbutus (mayflowers) or berries, shipping water lilies from local ponds, selling candy, and trapping muskrats. William C. Chipman, one of his employers, lived on Discovery Hill Road, a wildlife habitat of woodland and wetland. This habitat became the setting of many stories in which Burgess refers to Smiling Pool and the Old Briar Patch.
