Description
2018 Reprint of 1898 Edition. Illustrated. A stirring account of the lives of eight wild animals, including Lobo, the king of Currumpaw; Silverspot, the story of a crow; Raggylug, the story of a cottontail rabbit; Bingo, the story of a dog; the Springfield fox; the pacing mustang; Wully, the story of a yaller dog; and Redruff, the story of the Don valley partridge. Ernest Thompson Seton was a naturalist and author. This collection of stories created a new genre of realistic wild-animal fiction. It quickly became one of the most popular books of its day. "Lobo the King of Currumpaw", the first story in the collection, was based upon Seton's experience hunting wolves in the southwestern United States. It became a classic, setting the tone for his future works that would similarly depict animals--especially predators who were often demonized in literature--as compassionate, individualistic beings.
