An entertaining and fun story for everyone

Originally published in 1916, this story by Thornton W. Burgess is an example of old-fashioned storytelling that teaches good, solid morals and values. It is simply fun to read about the residents of the Green Forest, their lives and their interaction with their newest neighbor, Prickly Porky the Porcupine. In this particular adventure, there is a new creature that is frightening the forest's inhabitants. Prickly Porky hasn't seen it and one by one, his neigbors begin to investigate the strange sighting of the creature that appears at the bottom of Prickly's hill. This is the kind of story that is ideal to read to kids over a few nights in bed or over hot chocolate.
