This collection brings together eight animal tales by Ernest Thompson Seton, the UK-born, Canadian-raised naturalist and writer who spent part of his early career in Carberry, Manitoba, where he began developing his distinctive approach to nature writing before later relocating to various parts of the United States. The stories blend close observation of animal behaviour with fictional narrative, presenting animals as individual characters shaped by instinct and environment. Included are Lobo, the King of Currumpaw; Silverspot, the story of a crow; Raggylug, the story of a cottontail rabbit; Bingo, the story of the author’s dog; The Springfield Fox; The Pacing Mustang; Wully, the story of a yellow dog; and Redruff, the story of a Don Valley partridge.
