A children's book written in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1910s. This charming narrative follows the life of Bobby Coon, a raccoon, as he navigates the challenges of winter, dreams, and ultimately, his adventures in the Green Forest. The book encapsulates themes of survival, bravery, and the importance of home. In this story, Bobby Coon experiences a series of misadventures after his hollow chestnut tree home is cut down by Farmer Brown and his son. Initially, Bobby is terrified and believes he is in danger from the humans outside. After a brief escapade involving a dog and a chase by Buster Bear, Bobby finds himself lost and alone. However, after some ups and downs involving several encounters with other animal characters and a broken leg, he ultimately discovers a new home in a rock ledge that provides him safety and comfort. Throughout the tale, Burgess weaves moral lessons about friendship, the importance of understanding one another, and the journey to finding one's place in the world.
