Litsey, Edwin Carlile. Race of the swift. [†]$1.25. Little.
Seven stories of wild animals and the tragedy which follows their trail in their quest of food. The title story tells of the plucky run of a mother fox foraging for her little ones; The robber baron is the story of a feudal hawk; The ghost-coon tells of a coon which was white but not a ghost; The spoiler of the folds, follows the hunt of a gray-wolf; The fight on the tree-bridge is waged between an old raccoon and a little coon-dog; The guardian of the flock is the tragic tale of a sheep dog turned traitor; and The King of the Northern slope depicts the last fight of a great wild cat. The volume is illustrated by Charles L. Bull.
[*] “The stories have marked individuality, though the subjects of them ... have been treated very often before. Each tale moves rapidly and firmly, with perfect adherence to the facts of animal life, and without sentimentality.” May Estelle Cook.
