Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Wild Kindred" by Jean M. Thompson is a collection of animal stories written in the early 20th century. The book presents various tales that explore the lives and adventures of different woodland creatures, with each chapter focusing on different characters like bats, a panther, possums, and loons, among others. The stories offer vivid descriptions of their challenges and relationships in the wild, emphasizing themes of survival, family, and the interconnectedness of nature. The opening of "Wild Kindred" introduces us to a lively scene in an old barn where swallows arrive for the summer, bustled with energy and yearnings for new homes. Amidst this commotion, two sleeping bats, Velvet Wings and a smaller, timorous bat, are awakened and venture into life outside their cobweb-covered retreat. The narrative showcases the humorous and clumsy antics of the bats, exploring their initial struggles, while hinting at darker elements as a ferret, the new menace in the barn, poses an immediate threat to them and the other barn inhabitants. This engaging start sets the tone for a series of interconnected tales involving the wild and their inherent dramas, inviting readers into the intricate world of forest creatures.
