Albert Bigelow Paine
A children’s story collection written in the early 20th century. This charming book serves as a continuation of the adventures of the Hollow Tree People and their woodland friends, including characters like Mr. Crow, Mr. 'Coon, and Mr. Dog. It aims to capture the imaginative tales surrounding these animals, focusing on themes of friendship, adventure, and the magical elements of their quaint world. The opening of the story introduces the whimsical setting of the Big Deep Woods, where various animal characters had gathered to celebrate Christmas. As snow begins to fall, they find themselves snowed in together at the Hollow Tree. The narrative sets the stage for storytelling as the central character, the Story Teller, engages with a Little Lady, sharing tales about their experiences, such as Mr. Dog’s visit to a menagerie or the adventures of Mr. Coon. The vibrant personalities and playful dialogues encapsulate a light-hearted atmosphere, making the book a delightful read for children and a nostalgic enjoyment for adults.
