BT THE SAME AUTHOR 



THE LIFE STORY OF A LION 



SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



"... An admirably qualified author, for she has made personal 

 acquaintance with the king of beasts, and has powers of descrip- 

 tion equal to her courage and competence with the rifle. Nor is 

 imagination, a most valuable gift for such a book, wanting; 

 whilst the insight into lion-nature, and the certainty with which the 

 feline amenities of the lioness are laid bare, are remarkable." — 

 AthenceuTti. 



" We congratulate Miss Herbert upon yet another well-written 

 and entertaming book." — Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic 

 News. 



" Finely told and so true to wild beast life." — Times. 



" It is an excellent biography, written with knowledge and m- 

 slght."— Truth. 



"... Has an extraordinary appreciation of what may be 

 imagined as the lion's point of view ; with its beautiful coloured 

 illustrations, it is at once interesting and educative." — Academy. 



"Some of the passages in this book are exceedingly fine and 

 beautiful. The descriptions of scenery, of early dawn, of sunsets 

 in Somaliland, and of the stillness of the desert are graphic and 

 vivid, and possess a distinct charm. The author shows great 

 knowledge of the wild creatures of the country, both human 

 creatures and beasts, and of their brutalities. The thrilling 

 horrors are dramatically told. The early days and the old age 

 of the lion are the most attractive parts of the story, which is full 

 of interest, and is well worth reading." — British Weekly. 



" Exceedingly pleasant reading, and the author writes with 

 sympathy, wide knowledge, and real literary skill; while the 

 artist has seconded her efforts in a series of capital paintings, in 

 which the character of the lion and his habitat have been admir- 

 ably caught." — Guardian. 



" It is a wonderful book, a poem of naturalism." — Contemporary 

 Review.
