About this book

These eight stories treat wolves, rabbits, foxes, and a wild mustang not as scenery but as individuals with cunning, courage, and grief of their own. The most famous, Lobo the King of Currumpaw, grew out of Seton's own months hunting a legendary New Mexico wolf, an experience that turned him from trapper into conservationist. Drawing on close field observation, he insisted that the lives he described were real and that each animal met the end its nature and circumstances made likely. First published in 1898, the collection helped create the realistic wild-animal story and shaped how generations of readers imagined the natural world.
