Résumé

Résumé : "The Adventures of Buster Bear" by Thornton W. Burgess is a delightful tale set in the Green Forest, where the arrival of Buster Bear stirs up excitement and curiosity among the forest's inhabitants. The story begins with Buster Bear's quest for a breakfast of fresh trout, leading to a humorous encounter with Little Joe Otter, who is initially frightened but later attempts to outsmart Buster. As the narrative unfolds, the forest creatures, including Blacky the Crow, Sammy Jay, and others, become intrigued by the idea that Farmer Brown's boy might be afraid of Buster Bear. This notion is fueled by Little Joe Otter's account of Farmer Brown's boy running away after discovering Buster's footprint. The forest community, eager to confirm this tale, devises a plan to witness the boy's reaction to Buster Bear firsthand. The plan leads to a surprising encounter where both Farmer Brown's boy and Buster Bear end up running away from each other, much to the amusement and astonishment of the forest animals. The story highlights themes of fear, bravery, and the unexpected dynamics between humans and wildlife. Through a series of humorous and insightful events, Burgess crafts a narrative that entertains while subtly imparting lessons about respect and understanding among different creatures.
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.
