Transcriber's Notes:
Some illustrations were repositioned to avoid breaking up sentences.
Original spelling and punctuation were retained from the printed book, including spelling inconsistencies (i.e.: kestrel and kestril) except for the following changes:
Page 1: where-ever changed to wherever for consistency.
(to admire wherever we stroll)
Page 10: ear-bones changed to earbones for consistency.
(a mole's earbones)
Page 10: to day changed to to-day for consistency.
(setting any more traps to-day?)
Page 15: fore-arms changed to forearms for consistency.
(his forearms are something)
Page 30: added closing quotes.
(Try, try, try again.")
Page 78: water crow-foot changed to water-crowfoot for consistency.
(spawning amongst that water-crowfoot,)
Page 107: added quotes to continuation of quote.
