Meet Old Lobo, a gigantic grey wolf whose death-defying predations on sheep & cattle herds are the scourge of farmers & ranchers in the Currumpaw region of northern New Mexico. This great wolf is just one of the animals whose true stories come to life in this engrossing collection of tales by the celebrated naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946). Combining scientific observations of animals in their natural habitats with a romantic vision of nature & the narrative skills of a born storyteller, Seton created an extraordinary collection of tales that gave the animal story new force & believability as a literary genre. Critically & popularly acclaimed upon its initial appearance in 1898, Wild Animals I Have Known remains, more than a century later, the best-known & best-loved of his works. Each tale focuses on an individual creature: the clever crow, Silverspot; Raggylug, a young cottontail rabbit; the author`s errant hound, Bingo; Redruff, a Don Valley partridge; a wild horse known as The Mustang; Vixen, The Springfield Fox; & Wully, faithful sheep dog by day & treacherous killer by night. Seton offers affectionate but realistic portraits of each animal, stressing the commonality between his subjects & their human neighbours. In addition to his popular wildlife stories, the author is well known for his work as an illustrator & painter. This edition faithfully reproduces the layout of the original volume, as well as all 200 of the author`s distinctive illustrations. Animal lovers, environmentalists, naturalists, & any reader who appreciates a lively yarn will cherish this memorable wildlife classic. ...
