| Publisher Description: This vintage book is a 1899 collection of short animals stories by Ernest Thompson Seton. The four stories concern the adventures of four different animals: Lobo, a wolf; a partridge called Redruff; Raggylug, a Rabbit, and Vixen the fox. These charming and exciting tales will appeal to lovers of animal fiction and would make for perfect bedtime reading. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 - 1946) was an English author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including "The Birch Bark Roll" and the "Boy Scout Handbook". Seton was also an early pioneer of animal fiction writing, and he is fondly remembered for his charming book "Wild Animals I Have Known" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
