Excerpt from Forest Folk But presently the latter appeared to remark and resent the presence of an on-looker. A couple of them made towards him armed with pistols; towns men they looked like, of the artisan sort, in ragged cloth coats and greasy breeches. Evidently the horse man thought it more prudent not to await their coming, for he turned about and galloped off. But as soon as he was fairly out of pistol-shot he again reined in and looked back. The two men stood watching him, and with threatening wafts of the hand seemed to be bidding him continue his retreat. He did so, and soon a dip in the road hid them completely from his View.

Excerpt from Among the Forest People Since I told my stories of the meadow people a year ago, so many children have been asking me questions about them that I thought it might be well to send you a letter with these tales of the forest folk.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Fables Folk-Tales From an Eastern Forest Here, however, it is perhaps worth noting that although the Mouse-deer as a master of slimness is given the preeminent place among all the beasts of the field, its mantle is sometimes temporarily permitted to fall upon the shoulders of other and quite different members of the animal creation. Hence we hnd in the 14th story, that the King crow is worsted by a Water-snai], and I may add that in a Javanese fable of the same type (for which compare our own 'hare-and-tortoise' F able) the Mouse-deer itself plays the part of the deceived, instead of that of the deceiver. But the subject of the mutual relations of the Beasts in Malayan Fable is one which has yet to be worked out, and which lies unfortunately far beyond the bounds of the present disquisition.

Excerpt from The Green Forest Fairy Book In those delightful days of which I tell, there [9]were not scores and scores of books as there are now. Travelers journeying about the world told tales of the wonders that they saw and heard. It was not then thought strange that kings and queens or royal counselors and such wise folk should love to hear these wonder tales. In those dear days, indeed, the grown folk all loved wonder tales as well as children love them now and were not worse because of it. Sometimes these wonder tales were told by magic chairs or chests; sometimes by birds or beasts that were enchanted and had power of speech.

Excerpt from Ways of Wood Folk This is undoubtedly true of all birds and all animals. They recognize each other instantly amid multitudes of their kind and one who watches them patiently sees duite as many odd ways and individualities among Wood Folk as among other people. No matter, therefore, how well you know the habits of crows or the habits of caribou in general, watch the first one that crosses your path as if he were an entire stranger; open eyes to see and heart to interpret, and you will surely find some new thing, some curious unrecorded way, to give delight to your tramp and bring you home with a new interest. This individuality of the wild creatures will account, per haps, for many of these Ways, which can seem no more curious or startling to the reader than to the writer when he first discovered them. They are, almost entirely, the records of personal observation in the woods and fields. Occasionally, when I know my hunter or woodsman well, I have taken his testimony, but never without weighing it carefully, and prov mg it whenever possible by watching the animal in question for days or weeks till I found for myself that it was all true.

Excerpt from Folk of the Woods Beneath some patriarchal tree, I lay upon the ground; His hoary arms uplifted be, And all the broad leaves over me Clapped their little hands in glee, With one continuous sound.

Excerpt from Woodlanders and Field Folk: Sketches of Wild Life in Britain The pretty things move on, stepping quietly through the trees. They are tailless, and the large White patch on the rump is very distinct in the moonlight. Suddenly something startles the leading buck. He stands for a moment motionless in the silver light that oods the open aisle between the dark columns of the pines. His head is uplifted; his delicate ears are alert; his intelligent eyes are bright with atten tion. Then he and his whole family break into a trot which is a perfect picture of going, and so they disappear down the ride of the forest, and the summer night is emptied of their wild, timid grace.
