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.
