Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tommy Smith's Animals When the spring came, and the birds began to build their nests, and to lay their pretty eggs in them, then it is dreadful to think how cruel this Tommy Smith was. He would look about amongst the trees and bushes, and when he had found a nest, he would take all the eggs that were in it, and not leave even one for the poor mother bird to sit on when she came back. Indeed, he would often tear down the nest too, after he had taken the eggs. Perhaps you will wonder what he did with these eggs. Well, when he had brought them home and shown them to his father and mother, who never thought of scolding him, or to his little brothers and sisters (for he was the eldest Of the family), he would throw them away, and think no more about them. If he had left them in the nest, then out of each pretty little egg would have come a pretty little bird. But now, for every egg he had taken away, there was one bird less to sing in the woods in the spring and summer.

Book excerpt: CHAPTER I: As you know, when Tommy Smith grew up the animals did not talk to him any more as they used to when he was only a little boy. But he did not grow up all at once, and in the meanwhile he had some more conversations with other creatures which I have not yet told you about.But now I will, because, put together, they will make a little book, about the same size as the last one and as there are so many little books in the world, why should not there be just one more. It is true that Tommy Smith had promised the owl not to be unkind to animals any more, and the owl had called a meeting, and told the animals all about it, and explained that Tommy Smith was sure to keep his promise, because he made it to him in a particular way, and then the animals had given three cheers, and the meeting had broken up, and everybody had gone away in a quite satisfied state of mind. So, as there was no fear now of Tommy Smith hurting the animals, and as the only reason why the animals had decided to taIk to him was to get him out of his bad habits, it seemed as if there was no need of any more conversations. But when conversations have once been begun it is not so easy for them to stop, and it was only natural that creatures who had taken all the trouble to learn the little boy language should want to speak it to a little boy- and there were some too who, in spite of what the owl had told them, were anxious to get a personal assurance from Tommy Smith himself. Then, of course, those animals who had had their conversation with Tornmy Smith had talked about it to the other ones, and what they told them had aroused their curiosity- for you may read in any natural history book that animals have curiosity strongly developed.

Book excerpt: "So here for you is the tale of my latest solitary ramble. The journey covers, as you shall see, some two hundred odd miles, through five southern counties, and was conceived on an unusual plan. For I went neither on foot, nor by any of the wonted means of conveyance beloved of tourists; neither by motor, nor cycle, phaeton nor ambling nag. Moreover, I kept clear of the main roads, and, with two exceptions, the great towns; shunned nearly all the guide-book points of interest; sought out the least frequented lanes and by-paths; and found my history in the happy places that have no history, other than that writ large over their moss-green roofs and lichened walls - the English villages, which - as I look back on the long white road of the journey - lie in the memory now like pearls on a silver string." --Take from dedication.
