Overview

The Wishing Stone Series

Twelve of Thornton W. Burgess's wonderful stories are combined here in a unique three volume e-book edition that includes 15 beautiful color images of the classic Harrison Cady original drawings. Farmer Brown's boy Tommy discovers an old grey stone in the pasture that magically transforms him into whatever animal he wishes to be, allowing him to share adventures with Danny Meadow Mouse, Peter Rabbit, Old Mr. Toad, Paddy the Beaver and a host of others. As always, Thornton W. Burgess weaves each tale to include interesting nature lore, a touch of humor, important values, and just enough danger to provide an exciting ending to each story!
Birch Hill Rare Books has taken all 12 of the original stories and added color to the original black and white illustrations to make this classic collection of children's stories available in one electronic edition.
