Thornton Waldo Burgess (January 17, 1874 - June 5, 1965) was an American conservationist and author of children's stories.

He was sometimes known as the Bedtime Story-Man. By the time he retired, he had written more than 170 books and 15,000 stories for the daily newspaper column. Burgess was the son of Caroline F. Haywood and Thornton W. Burgess Sr., a direct descendant of Thomas Burgess, one of the first Sandwich settlers in 1637.

Bowser the Hound, outsmarted so often by Old Man Coyote, is taken advantage of once again when the coyote leads him on a long chase that ends far from the canine's home. But with the the help of Blacky the Crow and other friends, Bowser gets even.

There is nothing Bowser the Hound enjoys quite so much as to hunt someone who will give him a long, hard run. That is why one day he ran so far from home, while following the trail of old Man Coyote, that he could not find his way back to Farmer Brown's.

When Bowser the Hound sets his nose on a scent very little will stop his pursuit of his prey. But Old Man Coyote has a plan of his own to trick old Bowser, and guess what. . . it worked. Follow Bowser in this exciting adventure as he is tricked away from his home and the familiar Green Meadows where he roams and how Blacky the Crow uses Reddy the Fox to help Bowser.
