The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel (Dover Children's Thrift Classics)
by Thornton W. BurgessAuthor and editor of numerous children's books, Thornton W. Burgess was also a noted conservationist. In writing for youngsters he combined a gift for storytelling with his love of the outdoors, creating an entertaining menagerie of animals whose adventures he skillfully recounted in a series of charming fables. In them, he taught young readers about nature and encouraged them to love the "lesser folk in fur and feathers."In this delightfully told tale, Burgess chronicles the escapades of Chatterer the Red Squirrel, who's known throughout the Green Forest as a mischief maker. Narrowly escaping the clutches of Shadow the Weasel and Redtail the Hawk, the bushy-tailed little fellow decides to leave the forest for a new home, only to learn that curiosity, carelessness, and mistrust can lead to a heap of troubles.First published in 1915, this engaging story will charm readers of all ages -- as well as young listeners.

The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon / Containing a Narrative of the Wars of Kentucke
by John FilsonThe Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke and an Essay towards the Topography, and Natural History of that Important Country is a 1784 book by John Filson. It describes the discovery, purchase, settlement, and land of Kentucky. Filson's errors in the text have influenced public opinion on the discovery of Kentucky. <P> <P> Filson adds an appendix at the end, which is much longer than the main work in this writing. The first article of the appendix, titled, "The adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon, formerly a hunter, containing a narrative of the wars of Kentucke", provides a collection of stories, presented as an "out of his own mouth" publication of Daniel Boone. The second article included in the appendix is a short description of the council held by Thomas J. Dalton with the Piankashaw Indians, followed by a description of the different tribes in close proximity of Kentucky.
The Adventures of Colonel Daffodil
by Roy RedgraveMajor General Sir Roy Redgrave has enjoyed an unusual, some might say eccentric, life. Born into the same family as the well known actors, he was brought up in Romania as part of a thriving international community before he joined the British Army and advanced to high rank.Following on from the success of his memoir Balkan Blue the author has pulled together a superb pot pourri of anecdotes covering his family, his military career and post-retirement travels and experiences. Readers will delight in the scope of this book which ranges widely from aristocratic life in feudal Romania to the dangers an intrigue of the Cold War; from the charm of French rural life to Franz Josef Land and encounters with polar bears, walruses and seals. We travel with this intrepid man from Kathmandu to Lhasa where he lived with impoverished Tibetans whose generosity and friendliness made the discomfort of primitive living at such altitudes disappear.These and other extraordinary experiences made this a fascinating read.
The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon (The World At War)
by John FilsonAn excellent accounting of the adventures of Daniel Boone. Filson was a pioneer beside Boone after the establishment of the settlement at Fort Boonesboro in Kentucky, and though the account was written from the perspective of Boone, it is not stylized and seems to be a very good accounting as if Boone were relating the story directly and merely being written by Filson.

The Adventures of Conan Doyle: The Life of the Creator of Sherlock Holmes
by Charles Higham"WHO, REALLY, was Dr. Watson? And who was Sherlock Holmes? Both, I discovered in exploring the background for this book, had their parallels in real life. There actually was a Dr. John Watson, who lived in London, had served in the war in India, and had been wounded. And it is well-known that Holmes was very much like Dr. Joseph Bell, a skillfully deductive surgeon who taught at Edinburgh University. But I determined, as I worked on, that in the last analysis, Dr. Watson and Mr. Holmes, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, were really different aspects of the same person, in this instance Arthur Conan Doyle. ... He liked sport, and played Rugby and billiards expertly. He loved dogs, and kept a bull pup. He loved Turkish baths. He had a kind of wild courage, and tended to be romantic and gullible. He was loyal, a patriot, faithful to his friends and his wife. Self-effacing and considerate, though capable of being rash and headstrong, he was the perfect Boswell for Holmes. Conan Doyle's resemblances to Holmes are numerous. Holmes was descended from a family of squires, and he had some French blood. He had gray eyes. He had one brother. He suffered from conflicting moods of excitement and depression. He could be impatient and sharp. He had a bizarre sense of humor. He loved to make subtle literary references. He was inordinately excited by murder cases. He was familiar with an extraordinary IO . . . PREFACE range of subjects, including ciphers, medieval manuscripts, and the structure of warships. He went out in society but wi. ... He loved to reflect on philosophy and the course of history. Like Watson, he longed for the country while in London. Holmes had an almost clairvoyant grasp of events, beyond that of any other detective. He made up his own mind about crimes, deliberately acting as an accessory, when necessary, for the ultimate solution of a case, assuming the roles of judge and jury, and sometimes releasing the apparently guilty. He could deduce details of people's lives simply by glancing at them. Conan Doyle's son Adrian wrote of his father that he could sit in a cafe and determine from the hats, coats, shoes, umbrellas, and walking sticks of those who came in virtually their whole life stories."
