Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Thomas Baines and John Constable. Three volumes of The Junior Classics, the anthology for young readers first published by P. F. Collier in 1912, bound as one: animal and nature stories - a grizzly cub raised by hand, a fight with a catamount, a lynx in Canada, horses and dogs of every temper; old-fashioned tales of the kind their grandparents were raised on; and stories of the writers' own day. The pieces were chosen to be read aloud or alone, and they still work both ways. Fifty-one plates after Constable and Corot, from The White Horse to farm carts and woody landscapes, give the animal tales a painterly setting.
