NOTE 



The keen interest of the young people of- to-day in Nature, 

 particularly as exemplified in animals and their habits, is a very 

 encouraging and noticeable sign of improved upbringing. Children 

 of nearly all ages are thrilled with the life stories of animals told by 

 themselves, such as those in this series of volumes. To read of the 

 squirrel from the squirrel's point of view makes that dainty little 

 animal s life and habits of intense interest the next time a woodland 

 walk gives young or old a chance of seeing a little streak of brown 

 fur slipping along a branch. Although animal autobiographies of 

 this character are written mainly for the young, and are eagerly read 

 by boys and girls who are just beyond fairy stones, there is no doubt 

 that older folk get interested directly they have glanced at a page or 

 two. This means that the animal's point of view, set do^vn by a 

 writer who really knows his subject, is always fresh and interesting. 

 It was Mr. Kipling who told us that the jungle-folk call the two- 

 legged creatures who carry guns "the man pack," and it was 

 Mr. Grant Allen who stirred one to sympathize with the maternal 

 earwig ; and this series of nine books, each illustrated with clever 

 pictures in colour by artists of repute, will make the world more 

 interesting to many young folk.
