The well in the wood by Bert Leston Taylor
"The Well in the Wood" by Bert Leston Taylor is a whimsical children's tale written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Buddie, her talking dog, Colonel, and their encounters with various anthropomorphic animals in a fantastical wood filled with enchantment and humor. The narrative promises a delightful exploration of nature, friendship, and the adventures that await in the unknown. At the start of "The Well in
the Wood," Buddie is enjoying a sunny day throwing sticks for her dog, Colonel, near the edge of a forest. While collecting flowers, she unwittingly discovers the mysterious Enchanter's Nightshade, leading to a magical transformation where Colonel gains the ability to speak. Their adventures begin as Colonel proposes visiting his lazy beaver friend, setting them off on a journey through the enchanting wood where they encounter other charming creatures like the Laziest Beaver and a witty rabbit, all while pondering whimsical questions about life and nature. The opening sets a whimsical tone, inviting readers into a world filled with enchanting possibilities through Buddie's eyes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
