About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "His new book is the story of many different animals, observed in the unusual setting of the famous Huntington Library and Garden in California. Writing 'for children of all ages', Dr. Rowse teases gently the professors and other researchers who use the library and the staff of the building and surrounding garden, and tells an idyllic story of Brown Buck's brief sojourn there after escaping from a forest fire. The bullfrog, the skunks, the brown bear, the opossums and the dazzling birds, the brilliance of the forest fire itself, all add to the poetry of this beautifully observed novella." Dust-jacket price-clipped, but with a wonderful, colour tableau right across the full jacket by John Ward.
