Bright and entertaining, funny and sad, touching and kind, full of adventure, the stories of Ernest Seton-Thompson have long been loved by many generations of readers. The famous writer, artist and naturalist was engaged in life not only with science, he wrote and drew. He knew how to cut wood, do carpentry, set traps, tan animal skins, sew clothes, dry and dry meat, brand cattle, shoot while galloping, throw a lasso and much more. All this was useful to him when he composed his stories. There is no child or adult who would be left indifferent by the touching helplessness of the sweet-toothed Johnny bear, the courage and nobility of the Kootenay ram Craig, the fortitude of the Jack rabbit - the War Horse, the love for the home of the homing pigeon. Arno and the love of freedom of Royal Analostanka, a stray slum cat.
