Animal stories by H. Mortimer Batten
Told by Derek McCulloch
(Uncle Mac)
1 — 'The Stormcoc'
H. Mortimer Batten began making up animal stories a long time ago when he was a small boy. He would tell them to the other boys in his school dormi- tory, and no doubt he kept them wide awake. If he got into trouble for doing this, it was well worth it, for he has lived with animals ever since and found out all their ways.
