Who managed to look so deep into child psychology, compose an “encyclopedia of female life” and see a living, feeling soul in the beast. The animals, as Tuffy shows, know how to love with human love, selfless and sacrificial. “... none of my stories, with rare exceptions, caused such a hot response of readers as the stories about animals,” the writer admitted (“Sign of Time”).
