Sinopse
Características

The book contains five stories, illustrated by the pictures of which my sister speaks; and it is still sold by the S.P.C.K. Toots and Boots was so minutely adapted to Flinzers pictures, that the tale suffers in being parted from them. Still, it is to be hoped that readers of the un-illustrated version will not have as much difficulty as Toots in solving the mystery of the Mouses escape! I have added four more tales of Beasts and Men to the present edition, as they have not been included in any previous collections of my sisters stories. A Week Spent in a Glass Pond appeared first in Aunt Judys Magazine, October 1876, and was afterwards published separately with coloured illustrations. The habits of the water beasts are described with the strictest fidelity to nature, even the delicate differences in character between the Great and the Big Black water beetles are most accurately drawn.
