Burgess is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This delightful story follows the antics of Mr. Mocker, a mockingbird who arrives in the Green Forest and causes quite a stir among the local animals with his ability to imitate their voices. The book captures themes of friendship, misunderstanding, and the effects of deceitful tricks, all set against a vibrant backdrop of nature. The plot centers around Unc' Billy Possum and his friend Mr. Mocker, who enjoys playing tricks on their fellow woodland inhabitants. The story unfolds as Mr. Mocker's imitations create chaos, leading characters like Sammy Jay and Sticky-toes the Tree Toad to believe they are being unfairly accused of disturbance. As the confusion escalates and tensions rise among the animal community, Unc' Billy devises a plan to rectify the misunderstandings. By organizing a party to introduce Mr. Mocker properly, the story culminates in a celebration that fosters forgiveness and friendship, allowing Mr. Mocker to find his place among the local wildlife.
