WILD ANIMALS AT HOME 



By ERNEST THOMPSON SETON 



Author of "Wild Animals I Have Known" 

 "The Biography of a Grizzly," etc. 



Outstanding among the season's books about animals. Just a glance at it re- 

 vives the thrill of several years ago, when Mr. Seton was r writing enchanting 

 biographies of grizzly bears and other tales with memorable titles like The 

 Trail of the Sand-Hill Stag. His new book offers the most intimate and unfor- 

 gettable sketches of coyotes, prairie-dogs, fox, martens, beavers, otters, deer, 

 buffalo, antelope, the "well-meaning skunk," badgers, squirrels, rabbits, bears, 

 the "misunderstood" Canada lynx, and "the shyest thing in the woods" — the 

 mountain lion. There is an amazing assortment of photographs, a valuable 

 appendix, and woodcraft information "by the peck." Certainly it has the feel 

 of the forest in it, and its illustrations are more than satisfying. — Bookman.
