Summary: "Binney the Beaver, and Other Stories" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a collection of children's stories published in the late 19th century. The book primarily focuses on the life of a young beaver named Binney as he navigates various challenges and adventures in his woodland home, alongside lessons about community, responsibility, and the consequences of idleness.
