Secrets of the Friendly Woods: Centennial Edition English | 2026 | ISBN: 1493097776 | 142 pages | True EPUB | 5.59 MB A delightful series of sketches about our native woods and their furred and feathered inhabitants
When Rex Brasher was eight years old, he vowed to paint every kind of bird in North America. Forty years later, he accomplished his monumental task and decided to write this book. Brasher was recognized at the time by museum experts and ornithologists as the twentieth-century Audubon. While studying birds and sketching them from life in the field, Brasher absorbed an amazing amount of firsthand information about birds and other animals. Originally published in 1926, Secrets of the Friendly Woods is a charming paean to the creatures he came to know and love during field trips with his father, as a young man tramping through the woods of Maine and working on fishing boats, vagabonding across the North American continent by train and on foot, and later living in the Taconic Hills. In twelve whimsical chapters, Brasher describes encounters with many of his beloved birds, a wildcat, a family of raccoons, a domesticated wolf in Maine, and numerous squirrels, along with the beauty and wonder of the flora around them.
