Baree, Son of Kazan

Opis produktu:

Since the publication of my two animal books, Kazan and The Grizzly King, I have received so many hundreds of letters from friends of wild animal life, all of which were more or less of an enquiring nature, that I have been encouraged to incorporate in this preface of the third of my series-Baree, Son of Kazan-something more of my desire and hope in writing of wild life, and something of the foundation of fact whereupon this and its companion books have been written. I have always disliked the preaching of sermons in the pages of romance. It is like placing a halter about an unsuspecting readers neck and dragging him into paths for which he may have no liking. But if fact and truth produce in the readers mind a message for himself, then a work has been done. That is what I hope for in my nature books. The American people are not and never have been lovers of wild life. As a nation we have gone after Nature with a gun.
