These stories are exquisite in their refinement, and yet robust in their appreciation of some of the rougher phases of woodcraft. ”This is a book full of delight. An additional charm lies in Mr. Bull's faithful and graphic ill.u.s.trations, which in fas.h.i.+on all their own tell the story of the wild life, illuminating and supplementing the pen pictures of the authors.”--_Literary Digest._
=RED FOX. The Story of His Adventurous Career in the Ringwaak Wilds, and His Triumphs over the Enemies of His Kind. With 50 ill.u.s.trations, including frontispiece in color and cover design by Charles Livingston Bull.=
A brilliant chapter in natural history. Infinitely more wholesome reading than the average tale of sport, since it gives a glimpse of the hunt from the point of view of the hunted. ”True in substance but fascinating as fiction. It will interest old and young, city-bound and free-footed, those who know animals and those who do not.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
