Ernest Thompson Seton - combines the gift of a remarkable writer and a talented natural scientist. In addition, he was a great animal artist.

Through his book - Wild Animals I Have Known, he passed this love to three or four generations.

Often argue: who can do more to popularize knowledge about nature, about animals: a scientist or a writer? Probably, both are wrong. After all, you can know a lot and not be able to convey this knowledge to people. You can be a good writer, but if you write about nature without knowing its laws and secrets, then this also does not work. Unfortunately, a very rare phenomenon - a strong fusion of a writer and a scientist.

His great love for wildlife and animals that has been burning in him since childhood can not be measured by ordinary measures, expressed in words.

It is characteristic that E.Seton-Thompson's Wild Animals I Have Known book does not grow old. Their educational power equally affects millions of people of all continents for almost a hundred years. Especially great is the educational significance of Wild Animals I Have Known books for young people. He himself understood this very well. Being a boy who grew up in a family far from nature, he passionately searched for intimacy with the forest, sought to understand the life of wild animals. In this he was alone, at first no one could help him. Partly, therefore, many of his books he dedicates to the younger generation. The talented writer and animal painter Ernest Seton-Thompson (1860-1946) marked the beginning of the popular genre of zoos-literature and, at the same time, a new trend in Canadian and American literature. Numerous books about animals brought him world recognition. An Englishman by birth, Seton-Thompson lived in Canada since childhood, where he studied wild animals for many years in natural habitats. He turned to literary activity from the early 80's. The first collection of stories Wild Animals I Have Known (898) contains eight dramatic "biographies" of various animals from childhood to extreme old age or premature death (usually from unjustified human cruelty). The author's drawings-runaway light outline sketches on the margins of the book-explain the descriptions and merge with the text into one.
