Publisher's Summary

Thornton W. Burgess was a conservationist and author of children's stories. He loved the beauty of nature and its living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years. By the time he retired, he had written over 170 books and 15,000 stories for a daily newspaper column.

In The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse, Danny begins his tale regretting the length of his tail until he is corrected by Mr. Toad. Then he has a series of stalkings by Reddy Fox and Granny Fox. He is captured by Hooty the Owl but escapes midflight to fall into Peter Rabbit's briar patch. Peter goes to Farmer Brown's peach orchard, gets caught in a snare, and barely escapes. Finally, Danny gets trapped in a tin can and must use his wits to escape Reddy Fox again.

An old favorite revisited

When I was young, I loved reading anything and everything by Thorton W. Burgess. This was one of the few stories I missed out on back in those days, but listening to it now has rekindled many memories. As I am listening to this I am reminded of why I grew up with a strong sense of morality. Mr. Burgess teaches some very important lessons in life, to the young readers and for that matter, old readers like myself. At the same time he deals with reality, like the cycle of life. He refers to Hawks and Foxes, predation on Danny Meadow Mouse and Reddy the Fox always being dangerous. He does not hide much, but he doesn't go out of his way to be terrifying either.
Danny Meadow Mouse, is a delightful story, of friendship, bravery and being happy! I recommend it!
