THE OUTLOOK says:--“Mr. Thompson Seton’s ‘Animal Heroes’ will
disappoint none of his readers, whether old or young, who expect from
him a vivid first-hand description of wild animal life, quickened by
a sense of personal interest in the winged or four-footed characters
with which he brings them into touch. This is a delightful book for
all who care for animals and animal life, wholly irrespective of age.”

SIR HENRY SETON CARR says in _Vanity Fair_:--“Mr. Thompson Seton can
chain the attention of his readers and carry them along with him in
sympathetic interest for his animal heroes. There is a human quality
about the whole story that makes it quite impressive. The book is
charmingly and characteristically illustrated.”
THE DAILY EXPRESS says:--“A more charming and pathetic animal story
was never written, even by that sympathetic student of wild life,
Thompson Seton.”
=Two Little Savages.=
Being the adventures of Two Boys who lived as Indians and what they
learned. With over 300 Drawings by the Author. 6_s._ net.
THE DAILY CHRONICLE says:--“Let every schoolboy who wants to be a
savage, to understand woodcraft, to be on intimate terms with things
that creep and swim and fly and lope, demand that his parent shall
give him Mr. Seton’s ‘Two Little Savages.’ Mr. Seton retains the
boyish interest in small and wonderful things of the forest; he sees
all manner of quaint and absorbing manners in the animals few of us
understand; he knows why the mink fears the cat the first time, and
the cat the mink the second; knows, too, ‘why the beavers are always
so dead sore on musk rats.’ Moreover, he has a pretty touch with the
pencil, and has spattered drawings of uncommon vividness and humour
about his pages.”
