Beschreibung

“Doctor Rabbit and Tom Wildcat”, written by Thomas Clark Hinkle (1876-1949) is an illustrated children’s story in the style of Beatrix Potter’s “Peter Rabbit and Friends” series. In the middle of the night, Tom Wildcat knocks on Doctor Rabbit’s door. Grumbling he wakes up and opens his window to see who it is. He is not pleased to see Tom Wildcat and less keener to open his, fearful of the consequences. Nevertheless he treats Tom Wildcat. But that isn’t the end of Doctor Rabbit’s dealings with Tom Wildcat. He overhears Tom say he is planning to catch and eat his friend, the innocent Jack Rabbit. But what could he do about it? He sat in his rocking chair and thought and thought until he had come up with a plan. When he was sure the “coast was clear” he snuck out and began to make his way to where Jack Rabbit took his naps. But did he get there in time to warn him? And what of his other patients? What is wrong with O Possum and what secret did Tom Wildcat discover? So sit back with a steamy beverage and be prepared to be entertained for many-an-hour with this forgotten children’s story. If and when you come to pick up the story where you left it, don’t be surprised if you find a younger reader is now engrossed in the book and is reluctant to let it go. 10% of the net sale will be donated to charities by the publisher. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, Hare, Run Away, , Rabbit, Tom, Doctor, Wildcat, little, Stubby, time, Jack, tree, hole, Possum, Woodchuck, Jay, Blue, pretty, big, Woods, Green, good, old, Big, creatures, house, foot, Chatty, Cheepy, laugh, medicine, salve, Mandy, Squirrel, Rabbit, window, Kit, fast, frighten, Chipmunk, chicken, wildcat, afraid, tom, hoppity, rid, bad, Possum’s, poisoned, Friend, Red, cunning, cholera, Farmer, Jenny, Roe, paint, Deep, Robin-the-Red, neighbor, neighbour, breakfast, Prairie, stomach, growled, Sophy, Cat, sycamore, squeeze, Brook, tablespoon, adventure, Brother, woodrat, hollow, escape, garden, mouse, Crow, mysterious, discover, squawk, barnyard

AN UNWELCOME CALLER

Rap! rap! rap! It was past midnight and someone was knocking on Doctor Rabbit’s door. Doctor Rabbit growled a little, for he did not like to be wakened that time of night even if he was a doctor. But he got up anyway and opened the upstairs window in his big tree.

The big round moon was shining very bright. It shone quite clear on the one who was knocking at the door. Now, who do you suppose it was? Well, it was some one Doctor Rabbit didn’t want to see. I should say he didn’t! For it was Tom Wildcat knocking! And he was about the worst enemy Doctor Rabbit had in the Big Green Woods. So it was a mighty good thing he didn’t go down and open his front door.

“What do you want at my house this time o’ night?” Doctor Rabbit called down sharply.

Tom Wildcat jumped back a little, he was so surprised to hear someone talking above him. “Oh!” he exclaimed, looking up. “How do you do, Doctor Rabbit? I just came over to have you put some salve on my hind foot. I hurt it pretty bad a while ago.”

Now Doctor Rabbit didn’t believe old Tom. So he said, “Well, that doesn’t interest me, but how did you hurt it?”

“Well,” said Tom Wildcat, “I stepped on something in the dark—a sticker or something. Then all of a sudden I found my foot bleeding and mighty sore.”
