First edition of The Wainscott Weasel: Meet the creatures of Wainscott, where weasel Bagley Brown discovers his courage by saving Bridget, a beautiful fish in a nearby pond.
Written by Tor Seidlar, illustrated by Fred Marcellino. 1993, stated first edition, first printing. Michael di Capua Books, an imprint of HarperCollins.
From the inside flap:
"Fish, foxes, farmers, and frogs, seagulls, sparrows, and swans, turtles and terns - the ponds and fields and woods of Wainscott are home to all sorts of creatures. But the most remarkable citizens of this seaside community are the weasels: Zeke Whitebelly and his boisterous brothers; Wendy Blackish, who's come to summer with her aunt and uncle; Bagley Brown Jr., the lonely son of a famous father.
While the other young weasels dance under the pines, Bagley thinks about Bridget, the mesmerizing fish who lives in a pond down the brook from his den. Only a true hero can save Bridget from the gruesome death that awaits there - and this is exactly what Bagley, much to his own surprise, proves himself to be."
