The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad, by Thornton W. Burgess (1874 - 1965)

This project can now be found in our catalog at https://librivox.org/the-adventures-of-old-mr-toad-by-thornton-w-burgess-2/

Volunteers outside the USA: Thornton W. Burgess died in 1965. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Old Mr. Toad first bumps into Jimmy Skunk, then decides to join the Chorus at the Smiling pool - with unexpected results. He encounters Buster Bear as well as the famous Peter Rabbit among many other forest creatures who are just too numerous to list here. This old toad hops into interesting situations, believe me. If you listen to this book you will learn who they are. (Summary by phil c)

With a toad and rabbit here, are you perhaps making a pun with 'jumping'?? Hmmm? I will allow it and let you have those chapters. Do you like Peter Rabbit? Have y ou thought of doing a solo of his stores?
