"Two Little Savages" is a 1910 novel by Ernest Thompson Seton. One of
the great classics of nature and youth written by one of America's best
remembered nature experts, it tells the story of two boys who build a
teepee in the woods and convince their parents to allow them to live
alone among nature for a whole month. During that period, they learn how
to cook food, make fires and beds, sanitise water, read the stars, hunt,
and much, much more. Full of real lessons for real situations, this
charming volume is both enjoyable and instructive, and it is ideal for
young children with a love of the outdoors. Ernest Thompson Seton
(1860 - 1946) was an English-born Canadian author and wildlife artist
who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the
founding members of the Boy Scouts of America, 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".
