Excellent material, careful selection, and informative and colorful introductions to the inclusions by the editor make this outstanding in a welter of anthologizing... This collection of fact and fiction about animals, the world around, comes from books of science, advertising material, children's books, folk tales, short stories. It numbers among the contributors Fabre, Salten, Beebe, Sass, von Hagen, Waldeck, Villiors, Lide, Weigall, Kearton, du Chaillu, Grey Owl, and many more. There is lore of all kinds from Africa by way of Europe, from the Arctic, and the tropics, from the Americas and the islands of the Pacific and the Orient, of whales, gorilla, vicuna, wolves, yak, panda, penguins, fish, bears, lions, beaver, rats, and so on. Sanderson in his meticulous editing classifies the type of story, the approach, thereby keeping his varied material under control. Special and specific interest with wide appeal to all ages.
