Summary "Woodland Tales" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a collection of whimsical children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book draws upon themes from nature and mythology, featuring enchanting tales that are meant for readers of all ages who still appreciate the magic of fairy tales. The stories feature various characters from the natural world, blending lessons of morality with vivid imagery and characterizations. The opening portion of Woodland Tales begins with the author's preface that establishes the intent behind the collection: to share tales that inspire curiosity about the outdoor world while imparting wisdom. Seton introduces the concept of "Woodcraft," a guiding philosophy through which he hopes readers will explore nature more fully. He includes several stories, such as the love tale of El Sol and Snowroba, the Snow Child, as well as the story of the Dawnsinger and how the Bloodroot flower came to be. Through these narratives, the author seamlessly weaves together elements of folklore, with an aim to evoke wonder and appreciation for the beauty of the natural environment. Each tale not only entertains but serves to educate about the mysteries of nature, making it a captivating read for both children and adults alike. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
