| Summary | "Mother West Wind 'How' Stories" by Thornton W. Burgess is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book features various animal characters from the forest and meadow, teaching moral lessons through their actions and interactions with one another. Central characters include Peter Rabbit, who frequently seeks knowledge from Grandfather Frog, and other creatures like Old King Eagle and Old Mr. Toad. The opening of the book introduces Peter Rabbit, who marvels at the greatness of King Eagle soaring above and longs to understand what it’s like to fly. His curiosity leads him to engage with Sammy Jay, who recounts the tale of how King Eagle earned his prestigious white head after being appointed king of the birds by Old Mother Nature, and the trials he faced as a leader. This narrative interweaves themes of loyalty, bravery, and the importance of leadership, setting the tone for the enchanting stories that follow in the collection.
