CRITICAL NOTICES 



" It should be put with Kipling and Hans Christian Andersen as a classic." 



— The Athenceum. 



"Mr. Thompson is now drawing the best mammals of any American artist. 

 . . . This is artistic fidelity to nature in high degree. . . . Nothing of 

 equal simplicity could be more effective than these little marginal oddities and 

 whimsies. The book is thoroughly good, both in purpose and execution." 



—New York Evening Post. 



"This book is unique in conception and illustration. . . . One of the 

 most valuable contributions to animal psychology and biography that has yet 

 appeared. Mr. Seton-Thompson is not only a naturalist and an animal artist of 

 very high attainments, but is master of a literary style that is at once graphic 

 and fascinating. . . . The author of ' Wild Animals I Have Known ' is a 

 keen woodsman, as well as an accomplished artist and writer, and has given 

 us a book that opens a new field to our vision." 



— /. A. Allen in The American Naturalist. 



" In its mechanical make-up the book is a great success. The illustrations 

 by the author are among the best of modern book-making." 



—Boston Universalist Leader. 



" Nothing apart from ' The Jungle Book ' has ever approached these tales 

 in interest, and the 200 illustrations add greatly to their charm." 



—New York World. 



" The originality and freshness of these stories is irresistible. ... In 

 everything he does, Mr. Thompson has a way peculiarly his own. . . . 

 Even if naked and unadorned, the facts he tells us would be very interesting; 

 but when we have the facts and the factors fairly dancing before us, clothed in 

 all the quaint quips and droll persiflage of an accomplished humorist and born 

 story-teller, they are— as I have said— irresistible."— il/r. William T. Horna- 

 day. Director N. Y. Zoological Park, in Recreation.
