Wild Animals I Have Known

More about the book

The book features a collection of compelling stories about eight wild animals, each with unique narratives, such as Lobo the wolf and Silverspot the crow. Written by naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton, it pioneered the genre of realistic wild-animal fiction, portraying animals as compassionate and individualistic rather than mere villains. The first story, "Lobo the King of Currumpaw," draws from Seton's own experiences hunting wolves, establishing a tone that resonates throughout the collection and contributing to its popularity in the late 19th century.
