| Summary | "Mr. Turtle's Flying Adventure" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a children's story that belongs to the genre of animal fables, written in the early 20th century. The book is part of the "Hollow Tree Stories" collection and centers around the whimsical lives of animal characters, showcasing their adventures and interactions in a playful and imaginative manner. The likely topic focuses on themes of friendship, bravery, and the absurdity of their adventures. In this tale, Mr. Turtle recounts an extraordinary episode from his childhood, when he mistakenly believed he could fly.
