WHAT THE PRESS SAYS OF
ANIMAL AUTOBIOGRAPHIES
(_For volumes, prices, etc., see previous page_)
‘Embodies a realistic and highly-interesting life story of the fox as
told by the fox himself. Mr. Tregarthen knows his subject, and he knows
how to write about it. From the first page to the dramatic and pitiful
closing incident, when the hunter leaves the fox to his well-earned
rest, the interest in his sorrows and joys, his adventures, flights, and
escapes, never flags.’—_Literary World._
‘The story is a really fine one, full of true feeling for the wild,
easy to read, and hard to put down. It has several excellent coloured
illustrations, and will rank as one of the most desirable gift-books of
the season.’—_Guardian._
‘Miss Hunt undoubtedly understands cats as well as women, and she uses
her intimate knowledge with discretion; she chastens her revelations of
feline inwardness with a commendable economy and sense of fitness. Loki,
the smoke-blue Persian who unfolds the tale, is distinctly attractive.
Towards the close, indeed, the story almost rises to a problem
novel.’—_Athenaum._
‘He is a delightful creature, and his autobiography will appeal
to cat-lovers, as it has more than a touch of feline nature in
it.’—_Spectator._
‘Will charm many children.’—_Athenaum._
‘Mr. Robinson’s work is excellent.... Any parent who wishes to find
out whether his children take an interest in animals should place this
book in their hands; the boy who can stop reading it without reluctance
may at once be declared to have no interest in natural history. The
illustrations are good, and add much to the attractiveness of the
book.’—_Aberdeen Journal._
‘A work which we commend to young and old alike.’—_Athenaum._
‘A wonderfully interesting story—one which boys will devour with
eagerness, while their elders may learn from it much that will be new to
them.’—_Scotsman._
‘A curious and varied story. Will be read with unfailing
interest.’—_Educational Times._
‘No book could give more delight to a dog-lover than this beautiful
volume.’—_World._
The _Observer_ says: ‘That a great many children, and their elders, too,
take a continuous interest in the life stories of animals has been proved
again and again, and therefore the idea of this series is one which is
sure to commend itself to a large circle of readers. These volumes show
that the happy idea has been very happily carried out.’
