Rosalba Raccoon and Other Stories
by David A. Schaeffer


Follow Rosalba Raccoon and her gluttonous rabble as they feast on a garden until they are interrupted by the owner and his rifle. Meet Tom Turkey, the bully of the farmyard, who delights in picking on his fellow farm animals but makes the mistake of targeting a more beastly animal than him. And finally, explore the wonders and mysteries of a night in the forest with a young cloud curious about the world below. With delightful and lyrical rhyming prose, David A. Schaeffer explores the rural countryside in homage to classic fables.


David A. Schaeffer’s lifelong love of stories inspired his desire to share this passion with children such as his nephew. This led to him basing his titular short story on his nephew’s family’s trouble with raccoons in their garden. Growing up in rural communities and camping in the woods made setting his short stories in the countryside an easy decision. In addition to his love for reading, David enjoys drawing, whittling, and walking in the woods. David A. Schaeffer lives with his wife, Cassandra, and their cat, Jack, in the prairies of Morden, Manitoba.
