Features: The author of this book, Ernest Thompson Seton, lived in the wilderness of the United States and Canada for many years. The animal stories he recorded were praised by The New York Times upon their first publication in the United States as "stories that moved the whole world" and "no less than any world-renowned masterpiece depicting human society and human emotions." In Seton's works, the threads of animals and humans intertwine and progress side by side. The noble emotions of animals often touch even the coldest of human hearts. In Seton's world, animals do not appear as accessories to humans; on the contrary, they possess extraordinary intelligence, noble emotions, and rich lives. There is no reason for humans to elevate themselves above animals. In the face of Seton's animal protagonists, humans can only feel humble and ashamed.
