About the author
Arthur Scott Bailey was an American children's author born in St. Albans, Vermont, in 1877 and died in 1949. He wrote more than forty books, building much of his work around animal characters and the rhythms of country life.
His stories were designed for young readers, with simple, clear storytelling and a strong sense of the natural world. Many titles appeared in popular series such as the Tuck-Me-In Tales and Sleepy-Time Tales, and his work also included the syndicated comic strip Animal Whys.
Bailey's books stayed in circulation long after his lifetime, and a large number are now available through public-domain libraries such as Project Gutenberg and The Online Books Page. That lasting availability has helped keep his cheerful, old-fashioned animal tales easy to discover.
