THE WILD 

 UNMASKED 



By F. ST MARS. 

 Author of " Pinion and Paw," &c. 



Illustrated by HARRY ROUNTREE. 



From the Glasgow Evening Times. 



" Mr F. St Mars weaves Romance without the glowing threads of 

 human passions and titanic ambitions ; without the embroidery of 

 kings and ballrooms and vagabonds ; with no human interest except 

 the mention of the man who hides behind a thicket and snipes 

 unsuspecting creatures. 



' ' With a brush as deft as frost on the window pane, Mr St Mars 

 limns the protean beauty of Nature. 



"The narratives fascinate. Only a little episode in the life of a 

 little creature but Mr St Mars gives that little creature the grandeur 

 of the right to live. His details are so minute, without being merely 

 scientific, that one is persuaded that he has had unique opportunities 

 of observing the intimate habits of every creature under the sun. 



"The author buries in each of his creatures the seed of human 

 personality, and it flourishes abundantly as his narrative progresses. 

 To laugh at the effect as mere tale -telling is to ignore much 

 astonishing truth."
