A collection of riveting stories about creatures great and small from Ernest Thompson Seton, the creator of realistic wild-animal fiction. Through a fateful encounter with the wolf Lobo, Seton became a dedicated wildlife protector, individualizing animals and exploring their motivations, feelings, and personalities. This publication would soon contribute to the conservationist movement of the 20th century and establish Seton as a pivotal naturalist within our history. Includes a foreword by Sir David Attenborough and an introduction by David L. Witt.
