Books with author Rufus P Williams

Junior Frog lives in a beautiful, magical valley. But Junior is unhappy because he thinks he is ugly. Because he thinks he is ugly, he acts ugly; and so, no one wants to play with him and he has no friends. A wise old owl exiles Junior from the valley where they live so that Junior can discover "The lesson of the mirror." Junior's hazardous adventures nearly prove fatal, but the good heart he never thought he had saves the day. In the end, Junior can hardly believe what he discovers about "The lesson of the mirror." Written and illustrated by Rufus Williams, The Frog and the Butterfly tells a wonderful story about true beauty. The author says, "I grew up in Mississippi and we were very poor. I guess that's how I came to know and love little critters so much." Rufus Williams currently lives in San Luis Obispo, California. "I love children, and I love animals and all of nature. So this book is very special to me. I have always felt close to nature and nature's creatures. I find them interesting and sometimes wiser than we humans are. The characters kind of took root in my mind and heart, and the story emerged." Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/RufusWilliams

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
