From the author's "Preliminary Words": "Earlier, in my girlhood days, animals were daily, even hourly, seen that are now almost things of the past - rate and little known. They became familiar objects to the little western girl who had no playmates save those which nature furnished her. I learned to love those curious, or queer, or cunning animals; and with that love came a measure of sympathy which still survives. In the following sketches, in as simple a way as possible, I have sought to record facts and impressions - albeit they have a certain human tinge to them - that grew on me as the years passed on and I became a woman. They are offered you, my reader, in the sincere hope that hours thus made bright to me may still find a work that makes for betterment in the lives of others."

Condition:
There is a light, dime-sized stain spot at the top-right corner of the front cover; clean back cover and spine; sharp corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages.
