Young Timothy Twiggins longs for adventure. Against his mother’s advice, he sets out on his own to discover the wonders of the marsh beyond his home. The outside world is interesting and full of surprises, from flamboyant cardinals to rascally squirrels to sinister hawks. At first, Timothy’s adventure makes him feel free and inspired—but then he realizes that nature can also be dangerous and unpredictable.
