  • Résumé : "The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse" by Thornton W. Burgess is a charming tale that follows the escapades of Danny Meadow Mouse, a clever and resourceful little creature living on the Green Meadows. The story begins with Danny feeling self-conscious about his short tail, especially after meeting his cousin Whitefoot, who boasts a long, elegant tail. Despite his initial envy, Danny learns from Mr. Toad that being content with oneself is more important than appearances. As the narrative unfolds, Danny finds himself in a series of thrilling hide-and-seek games with his natural predators, including Reddy Fox, Granny Fox, and Hooty the Owl. Each encounter tests Danny's wit and agility, as he cleverly navigates his network of tunnels beneath the snow to evade capture. The story highlights Danny's resilience and quick thinking, particularly when he narrowly escapes the clutches of Hooty the Owl by falling into the safety of the Old Briar-patch. Throughout the tale, Danny's interactions with other woodland creatures, such as Peter Rabbit and Tommy Tit the Chickadee, add depth to the narrative, showcasing themes of friendship and survival. Burgess weaves a narrative that not only entertains but also imparts valuable lessons about self-acceptance, the importance of being vigilant, and the cleverness required to outsmart those who wish to do harm. The story concludes with Danny finding a new home in the Old Briar-patch, where he is safe from his enemies, thanks to the protective brambles and the companionship of Peter Rabbit.
  • 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.
