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.

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.
