Summary "The Book of Nature Myths" by Florence Holbrook is a collection of children's stories likely written in the early 20th century. This work compiles myths sourced from the folklore of various primitive cultures, aimed at captivating young readers' imaginations while imparting life lessons and moral values. The stories illustrate the origins of natural phenomena and animal characteristics through engaging tales, making it a charming read for children interested in nature and the world around them. The opening of the work sets the tone for the collection by introducing "The Story of the First Humming-Bird." It features two hunters who, during their quest for a deer, witness an extraordinary fire in the sky that leads them to discover a mountain of fire. This mountain becomes a vital source of warmth for their village. However, the flames' playful nature soon turns dangerous, leading to destruction and prompting the Great Spirit to extinguish the flames, saving the village but transforming the last gentle flame into the first humming-bird. This tale demonstrates themes of curiosity, the balance of nature, and the consequences of both joy and destruction, setting a whimsical and thought-provoking stage for the stories to come.
