This book is a collection of stories and poems cleverly combining life lessons from the perspectives of fictional forest animals. Employing the time-honoured tradition of actual storytelling, the narrative method could inspire case-studies based on the scenarios sketched in the book. Though they may be fictional characters, the scenarios are all too real.



Exemplifying how critical storytelling can also take shape, Robertson takes you through the Great Forest and introduces you by means of Mr. P. Woodpecker to his creations: Little Bird, Yancey Rabbit, Brother Woodchuck, Paddy Frog, Mary Fox, The Leaf, Swimmer and the Wolf, and Amber Doe. Following their lives' stories, they represent the universal themes such as "love, loss, seeking, pain and suffering, forgiveness, self-discovery, and reconciliation", among others.
