Books with author Percy Fitzgerald

Rupert had an attitude.He thought he was better than all the other trees. Better than the ash, the elm, the birch, even better than the maple. Rupert, the sturdy oak, grew acorns. Acorns fed all the forest animals: the squirrels, the deer and the lowly blind moles all depended on Rupert's acorns to get through the winter.Rupert was proud of that. Too proud.So proud that no birds would nest in Rupert's great branches. They didn't like being around someone who thought he was a little better than all the rest. The other trees couldn't be bothered with him either. Rupert was lonely.Rupert, the Sturdy Oak Tree tells the story of the change of heart Rupert must undergo to finally become part of the forest's family of trees and teaches its young listeners the value of being friendly and of seeing the worth in all others.J. Fitzgerald is the mother of five children, seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren, and she has been reading children's stories to all of them. She also loves to draw and has created all of the illustrations in Rupert, the Sturdy Oak Tree. Ms. Fitzgerald grew up on a farm and so easily writes stories about those things that she observed there as a child.

Excerpt from Puppets, Vol. 2 of 3: A RomanceOh, of course the shabby, greedy 'morna,' monster of snowy white, comes rolling in first, triumphant and contemptuous, the rest a quarter, half an hour, hours behind! Well into the harbour sails the vast yacht, stooping over, her dress ballooning out, the water falling away from before her in ridges of snowy foam. She comes on and on, growing larger every second, until it is thought she will be in on the shore, when bang goes the cannon from the flagship. She has won, and she Whisks round contemptuously. The very magnificence of the demeanour of the unpopular craft extorts a cheer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
