Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Uncle Wiggily in the Woods" by Howard Roger Garis is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the adventures of Uncle Wiggily Longears, a kind and gentle rabbit gentleman, as he explores the woods with his muskrat housekeeper, Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. Each story presents Uncle Wiggily facing various challenges and encounters, often involving other animal characters, emphasizing themes of friendship, problem-solving, and kindness. At the start of the book, Uncle Wiggily makes plans to spend the summer in a hollow stump bungalow in the woods, where he anticipates new adventures. He quickly encounters the skillery-scalery alligators who plot to catch him, but demonstrating resourcefulness, Uncle Wiggily cleverly crafts a whistle from a willow branch to call for help, ultimately securing his escape from their grasp. This opening sets the tone for a delightful series of whimsical stories filled with playful challenges and inventive solutions, appealing to young readers and those young at heart.
