First published in1922, "Woodland Tales" is a charming collection of classic short animals stories for children of all ages. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 - 1946) was an English author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including "The Birch Bark Roll" and the "Boy Scout Handbook". Seton was also an early pioneer of animal fiction writing, and he is fondly remembered for his charming book "Wild Animals I Have Known" (1898). This collection is perfect bedtime reading for animal-loving children and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "Blue-eyes, the Snow-child, or the Story of Hepatica", "The Story of the Dawnsinger, or How the Bloodroot Came", "The Prairie-girl with Yellow Hair", "The Cat's-eye Toad, a child of Maka Ina", "How the Bluebird Came", "Robin, the Bird that Loves to Make Clay Pots", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Autorenporträt

Naturalist, author, and artist Ernest Thompson Seton was an American who lived from 1860 until 1946. He was born in South Shields, County Durham, England to Scottish parents. He moved to Canada with his family when he was six years old. There, he worked as a naturalist when he was a young guy, researching and capturing the prairie animals on paper. In his book "Wild Animals I Have Known," Seton collected his own accounts of his encounters with numerous wild animals. As a result of the book's success, Seton rose to prominence in the field of nature writing. Seton co-founded the Boy Scouts of America and was a well-known conservationist. He produced a large number of books and essays on outdoor education and wilderness survival because he thought it was crucial to educate children about the natural environment. Seton spent some years living among the tribes of the Southwest and later became active in Native American rights movement. Up to the time of his death in 1946, he kept producing writing and art. The Ernest Thompson Seton Institute, which supports wildlife art, outdoor education, and conservation, honors Seton's legacy today.
