This little book, perfect in type and finish, is no less attractive for its contents. Any lover of nature and of animals, from a dozen years of age upward, will find most interesting and profitable reading in its pages. In the first chapter on "Little Beasts and How to Find Them" the author's personal and unusual interpretation of many animal characteristics fixes the attention at once, nor does the interest wane before the final page is read. It is a great surprise and pleasure as well to find that so many of the smaller wild animals still abound in the woods and fields of New England, despite the encroachments made on their territory by civilization.
