The worlds of Ernest Thompson Seton

With 57 paintings, 36 in full color, and 71 drawings! For over 75 years, in America and around the world, the works of Ernest Thompson Seton have inspired and symbolized a hearty communion with nature and wild animals. Seton's fascination with everything in nature has enabled readers young and old to live vicariously in the wilderness he re-created in more than forty books. Here for the first time, beautifully and faithfully reproduced in a single volume, are 57 of these spectacular paintngs - 36 in full color, including "The Sleeping Wolf", perhaps the greatest animal oil ever done by Seton, andhis world-famous painting of Lobo the wolf - together with a marvelous array of his unique line drawings of animals in various attitudes and "moods", his richly imaginative and often humorous sketches, and selections from his books, journals, articles, and voluminous notes on nature. And there is a special section on Indians and their woodcraft, including a drawing that shows how to build a teepee.
