- Résumé : "The Adventures of Prickly Porky" by Thornton W. Burgess is a delightful tale set in the Green Forest and Green Meadows, where a series of curious events unfold, captivating the animal inhabitants. The story begins with Happy Jack Squirrel discovering strange, sharp objects on the ground, which pique the curiosity of Peter Rabbit. Peter, known for his inquisitive nature, ventures into the Green Forest and encounters a mysterious creature without a head, legs, or tail, which frightens him immensely. This encounter becomes the talk of the forest, as Peter shares his experience with the other animals, leading to a mix of skepticism and intrigue among them. Jimmy Skunk and Unc' Billy Possum, two of Peter's friends, decide to investigate the matter further. While Jimmy is initially skeptical, Unc' Billy is convinced that Peter's story holds some truth. The narrative takes a humorous turn as Reddy Fox, known for his boastful nature, claims he would not be afraid of such a creature. However, when Reddy encounters the mysterious being, he too is overcome with fear and flees, much to the amusement of the other animals. The story reaches its climax when Granny Fox, determined to uncover the truth, investigates the hill where the creature was last seen. Despite her cunning and experience, Granny Fox is also startled by the strange entity, leading to a comical scene where she loses her usual composure. The tale concludes with the revelation that the mysterious creature is, in fact, a playful trick involving Prickly Porky the Porcupine, who has been rolling down the hill covered in leaves, causing the confusion and fright among the forest dwellers.
- 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.
