Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Bumper the White Rabbit in the Woods" by George Ethelbert Walsh is a children’s novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Bumper, a white rabbit who escapes from captivity and finds himself in the woods, where he is mistaken for a prophesied leader and eventually becomes the king of a rabbit colony. The narrative combines themes of adventure, friendship, and self-discovery as Bumper navigates the challenges of leadership in a community of wild rabbits. At the start of the story, Bumper escapes a garden owned by a girl named Edith and enters the woods, where he is welcomed by the wild rabbits who believe he is their destined leader. Initially feeling unworthy and unsure, he gradually accepts the admiration he receives due to his unique appearance. Bumper learns the ways of the woods, makes friends, and faces various trials, including encounters with other animals and rivalry from Spotted Tail, a fellow rabbit who resents his position as king. The opening sets the stage for Bumper's journey of courage and leadership, highlighting his struggles with identity while laying the groundwork for the conflicts and friendships that will develop throughout the story.
