Stories about animals. Seton-Tompson E.

American-animal writer Ernest Seton-Tompson (1860–1946), one of the first to have the heroes of his works of animals and birds. Perhaps it was he who laid the foundation for a new, realistic direction in the literature on animals, because no one had previously so truthfully and reliably their behavior and habits portrayed. His first book of short stories from the life of wild animals has become so popular that she set the tone for the whole further work of the writer, who not only knew his heroes well, but loved them, and most importantly, understood.
