Details:Fifteen popular animals stories about such characters as Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck which reveal the world of nature to children.
\"Thornton Burgess is one of my family\'s favorite children\'s authors. We much prefer Mother West Wind\'s stories to Brer Rabbit and Uncle Remus. Burggess\' style of writing is soothing and lulling, wonderful for bedtime or to calm an agitated or over-stimulated child. I read all of these over and over to my five kids who found them fascinating glimpses into the lives of animals. I would find myself sinking into a slow drawl, with just a touch of twang,as we followed the doings of Bobby Coon, Grandfather Frog and and the Merry Little Breezes.Especially delightful for city children who haven\'t much exposure to rural life.\" ~ Amazon book review
\"All of them are very sweet and innocent and include lovely moral lessons and character lessons. It\'s so hard to find beautiful reading for children these days, and these books are beautiful indeed!\"
A fine addition for your bookshelf!

About Us:
Rivendell Antiquarian Books sells used rare, vintage and collectable books predominantly from pre 1970. We have been sellers of antiquarian books for over 20 years, and our experience helps ensure quality descriptions of our rare and collectable books. Be assured that we want your experience with Rivendell Antiquarian Books to be enjoyable and problem free.
We believe that it is a travesty to simply throw away a used book when there is little or nothing wrong with it - we believe in giving each book the chance of finding a new home. We appreciate the impact a good book can have. We know the excitement of a new page turner, or the familiar joy of an old favorite, and we find satisfaction in putting older, and often scarce books in the hands of people who have the same love for old books that we do.
Customer Service:
Rivendell Antiquarian Books is committed to ensuring each customer is entirely satisfied with their puchase and our service. If you have any issues or concerns please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
Our books have been inspected carefully by hand by experienced book valuers to ensure the condition description is as accurate as possible for this exact copy pictured. If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!
Packaging:
We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our response, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner \"box\" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.
Delivery:
We aim to get all books shipped within 24 hours of order except on weekends. We can\'t control the delivery time once a book leaves our hands, but most of the time USPS is prompt in delivery, and the expected delivery time given by is usually fairly accurate. Because we use media mail to keep costs down, it does take a little longer for delivery, and occasionally packages get delayed in the mail system. If for some reason your order has not arrived within the expected time frame, please get in contact with us so that we can try to help you.
