About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1901. First Edition. First printing. Octavo (21cm). Publisher's pictorial cloth, decoratively titled in gilt on spine and front cover; 369pp. The expected sunning to the spine, but still a tight, clean, Near Fine copy, with the pictorial elements of the binding clean and unfaded. A collection of anthropomorphic animal stories in Seton's usual vein, a sequel of sorts to his enormously popular Wild Animals I Have Known (1898). Usually found well-worn; this is a genuinely attractive copy.
