Summary

"Wild Kindred" by Jean M. Thompson is a compilation of early 1900s animal stories that transport readers into the heart of the wilderness. Each tale captures the essence of survival, family bonds, and the delicate balance of nature through the eyes of various creatures, from bats and panthers to possums and loons. The book opens with a vibrant portrayal of a bustling barn, welcoming the arrival of swallows for the summer as two bats, Velvet Wings and a timid companion, awaken to a world teeming with both wonder and danger, where a prowling ferret threatens their existence and unveils the darker realities of life in the wild. The narratives emphasize the challenges and humorous moments of the animals, weaving them into a larger tapestry of interconnected lives within the forest.
