These three related Mother West Wind books form a distinct group within Drew’s larger Burgess Bedtime Story Books collection. Each physical volume has its own catalogue record and complete photograph sequence.
How I Discovered Burgess # I learned about Thornton W. Burgess through the Charlotte Mason homeschooling community, particularly through Autumn Kern and The Commonplace. I first learned about these four larger Burgess nature-study books through one of her bookshelf tours. That introduced me to this particular group of books and made me want copies for our own home library.
Reading Burgess Together # These individual animal adventures came before the four larger nature-study volumes in our family’s reading life. Their short, self-contained stories work beautifully as bedtime reading and inspired me to gather more of Burgess’s books.
