Seton, Ernest Thompson. [Animal heroes: being the histories of a cat, a dog, pigeon, a lynx, two wolves and a reindeer.] $2. Scribner.
The author assures us that “Every one of these stories, though more or less composite, is founded on the actual life of a veritable animal hero.” The first story describes four phases in the life of a slum cat whom luxury could not ween from her beloved junk-yard; Little Arnaux is a homing pigeon with a long record won by a fearless heart; Badlands Billy is the story of a wolf that won. Then follow stories of The boy and the lynx, Little warhorse, which is the history of a jack-rabbit; Snap, the bull-terrier who enters the story in a box marked “dangerous.” The Winnipeg wolf, and The legend of the white reindeer. Two hundred drawings by the author illustrate the volume.
