Wild Animals I Have Known (Annotated)

Lobo knows where the traps are. Silverspot knows his flock and his country. Raggylug has much to learn, and Molly is determined that he shall live to learn it. Across eight stories, Ernest Thompson Seton follows animals whose particular gifts become clear when their lives are put to the test. First published in 1898, *Wild Animals I Have Known* turns the animal encounter into an intimate portrait. A hunt changes the hunter's measure of success; a familiar dog unsettles easy judgments; a mother's persistence gives a small life extraordinary weight. Adventure and close observation lead the reader toward attachments that the endings do not always spare. This AMBER SERIES edition from AETERNUS presents the English collection with new publisher illustrations, an author portrait, a glossary, and an afterword. Seton's original “Note to the Reader” accompanies the stories, explaining the individual lives and composed histories behind a book whose animals remain difficult to forget.
