| Summary | "Little Tales of The Desert" by Ethel Twycross Foster is a collection of charming children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores the adventures and experiences of a young girl named Mary as she navigates life in the Arizona desert alongside her family and animal friends. Through whimsical narratives, the stories capture the beauty and uniqueness of desert life, as well as the importance of nature and friendship. In this collection, Mary interacts with various desert animals and learns about their behaviors and habitats. Each tale presents a different adventure, such as celebrating a unique Christmas in the desert, encountering playful trade rats that "trade" items, and discovering the significance of wildlife like road-runners and rabbits. With a combination of imagination and real-life desert experiences, Mary’s journeys are filled with valuable lessons, emphasizing resilience, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the environment around her. Through beautifully illustrated pages, the book invites young readers into an enchanting world, where they not only enjoy delightful tales but also discover the wonders of the desert ecology.
