Summary "Little Mitchell: The Story of a Mountain Squirrel" by Margaret W. Morley is a children’s tale written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Little Mitchell, a baby squirrel, who experiences a series of events after being rescued from his nest. The narrative explores the bond that forms between Mitchell and his human caretaker, referred to as "the lady," as they embark on travels through the lush, mountainous landscapes of North Carolina. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to Little Mitchell, who is born in a snug nest high in a chestnut tree on Mount Mitchell. Tragically, the other babies in the nest do not survive, leaving him alone. The narrative shifts as a lady and a mountain man unexpectedly arrive near the log cabin at the foot of the mountain, leading to the accidental discovery of Little Mitchell after he falls from his perch. The lady, recognizing his vulnerability, decides to take him under her wing. As the story unfolds, we witness their journey through rugged terrain, including the lady caring for and feeding Mitchell with condensed milk, ultimately developing a whimsical bond filled with humor and adventure.
