L'autore:
I am Kate Murray Brown. I live in the woods of Tennessee, near Monteagle and Sewanee, where the wonders of nature inspire me to create these magical Sassafras Tales. The stories are full of fun and adventure that always end up with the characters doing the right thing. Even though some of the characters are greedy, selfish, and mean, kindness prevails. Skeetle-The-Beetle, Duke-The-Chameleon, Queeny-The-Mouse, Hezzra-The-Centipede, Winter-The-Black-Widow-Spider, Mrs. Pernickety Fox, even Tal-wees learn lessons of kindness. I hope you enjoy Sassafras Tales. www.sassafrastales.com
