Wild Animals I Have Known by Ernest Thompson Seton
"Wild Animals I Have Known" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a collection of short stories published in 1898. This pioneering work of realistic wild-animal fiction depicts predators and other creatures as compassionate, individualistic beings rather than objects or demons. Beginning with "Lobo the King of Currumpaw," based on Seton's wolf-hunting experiences, the stories portray animals as characters with depth and emotion. The book became immensely popular, though it later sparked the nature
fakers controversy when critics accused Seton of fabricating animal behaviors and founding an overly sentimental genre. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
