Summary "Wood Folk at School" by William J. Long is a nature-themed narrative likely written in the early 20th century. This work belongs to a series that explores the lives of animals and their behaviors in the wild, aimed at both educational and entertaining purposes. With a focus on animal education and instinct, the book likely presents insights into the lives of various woodland creatures, showcasing their interactions and learning processes. The opening portion introduces readers to the concept of a 'school for the Wood Folk'—the wild animals—suggesting that education among these creatures is an amalgamation of instinct, parental teaching, and experience. Long reflects on his personal observations, sharing an experience with two young fawns that he discovers hidden in the woods. He marvels at their appearance and innocence, detailing how they are taught to stay still and follow their mother—lessons crucial for survival in the wild. Through the narration, readers gain an understanding of the intricate relationships and learning processes among woodland creatures, setting a tone of reverence for nature and its inhabitants.
