Autorenporträt

Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946) was an influential author, artist, and naturalist whose work significantly impacted children's literature and the field of nature education. Born in England and later moving to Canada, Seton developed a deep appreciation for the natural world and the indigenous cultures he encountered. His experiences in the wilderness and his fascination with Native American traditions shaped much of his writing. Seton is best known for his stories about wildlife and outdoor adventures, including the popular Rolf in the Woods. His writing often reflects his extensive knowledge of animal behavior and his commitment to promoting self-reliance and respect for nature. Seton's detailed illustrations and narrative style made his works both educational and engaging for young readers. Beyond his literary achievements, Seton was a pioneer in the American Boy Scouts movement, influencing the development of scouting principles with his emphasis on outdoor skills and nature appreciation. His contributions to nature study and conservation have left a lasting legacy, inspiring generations to explore and value the natural world. Seton passed away in 1946, but his impact on nature education and children's literature continues to resonate.
