WOOD FOLK SERIES 
By WILLIAM J. LONG 
Hamilton Wright Mabie, Associate Editor of the “ Outlook” : William J. Long is 
a lover of wild life whose reports of what goes on in earth and air are fresh, vital, and 
picturesque. He has evidently been abroad at all hours and has surprised beasts and 
birds in their most unguarded moments. Mr. Long has a fresh, sincere style, an eager 
curiosity, and a trained habit of observation. He writes with unaffected skill. 
Ways of Wood Folk

“ Wilderness Ways ” is written in the same intensely interesting style 
as its predecessor, “Ways of Wood Folk.” The hidden life of the 
wilderness is here presented by sketches and stories gathered, not from 
books or hearsay, but from the author’s personal contact with wild things 
of every description. 
Secrets of the Woods 
184 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents ; mailing price, 60 cents. 
This is another chapter in the shy, wild life of the fields and woods. 
Little Tookhees, the wood mouse that dies of fright in the author’s 
hand ; the mother otter, Keeonekh, teaching her little ones to swim ; 
and the little red squirrel with his many curious habits, — all are pre- 
sented with the same liveliness and color that characterize the descrip- 
tions in the first two volumes. The illustrations by Charles Copeland 
are unusually accurate in portraying animal life as it really exists in its 
native haunts. 
Wood Folk at School 
186 pages. Illustrated. List price, 50 cents ; mailing price, 60 cents. 
The title of this new book suggests the central thought about which 
the author has grouped some of his most fascinating animal studies. 
To him “the summer wilderness is one vast schoolroom in which a 
multitude of wise, patient mothers are teaching their little ones the 
things they must know in order to hold their place in the world and 
escape unharmed from a hundred dangers.” 
This book, also, is adequately illustrated by Charles Copeland.
