Turtle's Flying Adventure


Book Description

ONCE upon a time, when it was early summer in the Big Deep Woods, the Hollow Tree people and Jack Rabbit went over to spend the day with Mr. Turtle, who lives in a very nice stone house which he built himself on the edge of the Wide Blue Water. Mr. Turtle fishes a good deal, and makes most of his living that way, and knows all the best places, so when his friends came he said that perhaps they would enjoy fishing a little—which they could do and sit in a pleasant place at the same time, and talk, and look out over the Wide Blue Water, which was especially blue at this season.

Mr. Turtle's Flying Adventure


Book Description

Excerpt from Mr. Turtle's Flying Adventure: Hollow Tree Stories Well, one day I was Showing off more than usual and had paddled out farther toward the Drifts, saying to the others that I was going to pay a call on Old Man Moccasin. I kept on farther than I intended, for it was a nice summer day and the water felt good. I didn't know how far I had gone until I turned around to look, and then I didn't think about that any more, for a quarter of a mile away, and between me and the Shore, was Old Man Moccasin, coming straight in my direction. He was a good two feet out of the water and had on his far sighted glasses, and I knew he was after me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
