This scries is dedicated to my mother, Barbara Jean Evans, who
taught to me a deep affection for Toad Hall, the Hundred Aker
Woods, the Shire, and many other hidden places and countries
beyond the fields we know. She also induced in me a lifelong desire
to make my own discoveries, and to share them with others. I wish
to share these books with her.
