Skinner is a collection of children's stories and legends, likely compiled in the early 20th century. The work celebrates the enchanting themes of summer and nature, filled with myths, fables, and tales that engage the imagination of young readers. Each story aims to foster an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world while introducing readers to the rich tapestry of legends associated with various elements of summer. At the start of the collection, the introduction lays the groundwork for the enchanting tales that follow, emphasizing the importance of observation and connection with nature for children's development. The opening portion features two legends: one, an Iroquois tale titled "How Summer Conquered Winter," narrates Glooscap's journey to defeat the Winter Giant and ultimately bring summer's warmth to the earth. The second, an Australian legend called "A Legend of the Flowers," tells of the great spirit Byamee, who, moved by the longing of a people for blossoms, promises never to leave the earth bare again. Both stories highlight themes of nature's power and beauty, setting a delightful tone for the collection.
