Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Washer the Raccoon" by George Ethelbert Walsh is a children's animal adventure story written in the early 20th century. The book follows the journey of Washer, a young raccoon who faces various challenges, encounters wolves, and must navigate the complexities of identity as he discovers he is not like his wolf siblings. The opening of the book introduces Washer, the youngest of three raccoon siblings, born near Beaver Pond. As the story unfolds, Washer's curiosity leads him to an accidental plunge over Rocky Falls, separating him from his worried mother. Remarkably, he survives the fall and is later captured by Sneaky the Wolf, who intends to present him as food for his family. However, Washer is adopted by Mother Wolf, leading to his dual struggle between two worlds—his original raccoon family and his newfound wolf family. This sets the stage for Washer's further adventures and the exploration of loyalty, love, and belonging.
