Once there came to Cottontail Town, a rabbit lame and old. The bunny family took him in to shelter from the cold. They nursed him through the winter months and made him strong and well. And that is why you'll want to hear, the tale I'm going to tell... (an excerpt from In Cottontail Town by Marguerite Gode)

{HISTORY}

Everybody knows the story of Peter Rabbit and his adventures in the carrot patch with cranky Mr. McGregor. But did you know that there are a slew of other bunny stories from history that combine the themes of spring and Easter eggs and magical woodland creatures? Here in this vintage children's book, published in 1962, you'll discover  a whole delightful orchestra of furry characters, stories and poems written by a variety of 19th century authors that have slipped away to obscurity over time. 

From wood nymphs to bumblebees, forest fairies to chickens, flowers to butterflies and even a group of rambunctious little kittens, there are stories for everyone to enjoy. You'll meet forest fairies Thinker, Tinker and Winker in How the Forest Fairies Get Ready for Spring. You'll learn the symbolism behind the dogwood tree and flower in The Legend of the Dogwood. You'll learn about Easter traditions around the world in Easter in Many Lands. And you'll meet the kittens - Taffy and Inky, Fuzzy Nose and Clinker, Fluff and Muff and Checkers who all have taken part in just about the cutest photoshoot mid-century kids ever encountered.
