Secrets of the Friendly Woods, through the delightful voice of the author, introduces the reader to the intimate lives of birds and animals, while conveying something of the mysteries that lie behind trees and in the shadows of rock and bush.

Rex Brasher (1869-1960), born in Brooklyn, New York, was one of America's great bird artists. When he was completing the almost nine hundred watercolors that formed his collection, Brasher purchased a small farmhouse in Dutchess County, New York, near Kent, Connecticut. In 1932 he self-published a twelve-volume edition of hand-colored reproductions of the paintings, accompanied by text, titled Birds and Trees of North America. In 1941 Brasher sold the original paintings to the State of Connecticut. The collection has not been exhibited since the 1980s. Today the Brasher paintings are in protective storage at the Dodd Research Center on the campus of the University of Connecticut at Storrs.
