About this book
The contents list names chapters called The Muskrats are Building, Christmas in the Woods and A Cure for Winter, among others. The writer says the thrilling honk of the flying wild geese out of the November sky tells that the hollow forests and closing bays of the vast desolate north are empty now, except for the few creatures that find food and shelter in the snow. The writer says that long before the muskrats began to build, even before the swallows commenced to flock, the writer's chipmunks started their winter stores.
The writer says that over the pasture the bluets are beginning to drift, and that in the wet shaded bottoms of the maple swamps the pointed arum leaves of the Jacks, or Indian turnips, unroll. The writer claims an abundant crop of crows, chipmunks, muskrats, mice, skunks, foxes, and rabbits, with few rabbits because of the many foxes.
