This charming children’s book, published at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties, follows the whimsical escapades of Squirrel Fluffytail, a mischievous yet kind-hearted woodland creature, as he explores his forest home. Written by Dolores McKenna—a lesser-known but skilled author of early 20th-century juvenile fiction—the story blends gentle humor, light adventure, and moral lessons in the tradition of Beatrix Potter and Thornton Burgess.
Each chapter presents a new adventure: Fluffytail outwits a sly fox, helps a lost baby rabbit, and learns the value of sharing after hoarding too many acorns. The tale’s nostalgic warmth and vivid depictions of nature reflect the era’s fascination with anthropomorphic animal stories, offering young readers both entertainment and subtle guidance on friendship and responsibility.
While not as widely remembered as classics like Peter Rabbit, McKenna’s book holds historical appeal as a relic of vintage children’s literature. Its delicate prose and likely illustrations (depending on the edition) evoke a simpler time, making it a sweet rediscovery for collectors of early 20th-century juvenilia or fans of old-fashioned woodland tales.
