Mabel is a young girl who lives in the countryside near the woods. One day, she decides to explore the land with the help of the animals who live amongst the trees, fields and ponds.
As Mabel's adventures in the forest and beyond, she learns a lot about the kinds of creatures who live there. The strong and speedy horse, the agile wolf, and the brave and faithful dog - the sorts of animals Mabel befriends are encountered or depended on by people through good and bad times. With her friends, Mabel protects her family against wrongdoers. Her old grandma, a kind and goodly soul, is vulnerable - it's up to Mabel and her companions to keep their house and home safe.
This edition of Mabel's adventures includes nine drawings by Harry Rountree, so that young readers can understand and follow what happens.
