Little Beasts of Field 

 and Wood 



Chapter I 

 Little Beasts and How to Find Them 



TO my thinking, the small beasts that still 

 inhabit our woods have been altogether 

 too much neglected by the student of nature, 

 though really much nearer to us and much 

 more easily comprehended than birds, when you 

 have once succeeded in finding them. For that 

 they are more difficult to observe than birds is 

 undeniable.
