  THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919 
  Book 4 of 6  The Great Forest Rescue 
  The summary of this fourth book in the series is as follows: 
  While exploring Ashdown Forest in the summer of 1919, the six Brownies—Lulu, Minnie, Lottie, Agatha, Bernadette, and Beryl—discover an injured fox caught in a poacher's trap. Working together, they carefully free the animal (named Rusty) and nurse it back to health with guidance from Mr. Hawthorne, a war veteran turned naturalist. Through mishaps and teamwork—Agatha's first aid skills, Minnie's animal knowledge, Bernadette's gentle care—they rehabilitate Rusty and release him into the wild. 
  Their compassion leads to a new mission: joining Mr. Hawthorne's forest preservation project. Each girl contributes her unique talents—Lulu's leadership, Beryl's keen observation, Lottie's humor—to protect the forest's wildlife. As autumn arrives, occasional sightings of a russet fox remind them of their first rescue and the greater adventure ahead: safeguarding Ashdown Forest's magic for all its creatures. 
  The initial opening credit music, “Joyful Journey”, which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, “Bloom”, ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel.  
  The story and music itself runs to just about 14 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

  Folk Heroes of the Frontier

  The Wild West and the frontier have long held a special place in the narrative of American history, and all of the legends and folk heroes who lived in the 19th century owe their reputation to the original American frontier folk hero, Daniel Boone. Boone was literally a trailblazer: the legendary pioneer established his Wilderness Road by striking west into present-day Kentucky and establishing Boonesborough, one of the earliest white settlements west of the Appalachians. Hundreds of thousands of settlers would follow his path by the end of the 18th century.  
  While that was an important and proud legacy for the former Revolutionary War militiaman and Virginia State Assemblyman, Boone became known for the outsized tales and adventures associated with his foray into the frontier. Far and wide, people spoke of Boone’s expert marksmanship, his encounters with wild bears, and his hardscrabble frontier life, making him a living legend and the prototypical Western frontier folk hero in America.  
  Of all the legends and folk heroes who lived in the 19th century, none became as famous as Davy Crockett, “The King of the Wild Frontier”. Crockett had the distinction of being a living legend in his own life. Known as a hardscrabble frontiersman who could spin a good yarn but who also took a no-nonsense approach that brought him from the backwoods of Tennessee to the halls of Congress. Though he served during the presidency of another Westerner, Andrew Jackson, Crockett was very much his own man, and he was distrustful of other politicians, a sentiment that has only endured him further to subsequent generations of Americans.  
  In 1834, Crockett was promoting his autobiography, which provided colorful accounts of his life on the frontier, all while facing reelection.
