PINION AND PAW 



By F. ST MARS. 

 Author of "The Wild Unmasked." 



Illustrated by HARRY ROUNTREE. 



A book of vivid stories about our fur and 

 feather friends. 



From the Outlook. 



" Mr St Mars has given us one of the most distinguished books of 

 the year in the dozen and a half arresting little sketches which he has 

 called Pinion and Paw. Each one is a small, perfect epic of the wild, 

 which leaves the reader pulsating with sheer wonder and excitement 

 For these are the secrets of the woods and the fields, and the under- 

 brush that are being divulged to us. It is as though some denizen of 

 the wild was speaking revealing sharing with us the hidden things. 

 Birds and beasts and the little creeping things of the earth have come 

 under Mr St Mars' closest observation, but much of his knowledge has 

 its root in an almost uncanny intuition. Sympathy and kindness, too, 

 have gone a long way towards the making of such a book. The sounds 

 and signs and tricks of the wild are known to him aufond. It is as 

 though the heralds who stand at Nature's gates have moved aside for 

 him and us to pass."
