Lobo the King of Currumpaw and Other Stories

The first entry in a new genre of realistic wild-animal fiction, Ernest Thompson Seton's (1860-1946) first collection of short stories quickly became one of the most popular books of its day. "Lobo the King of Currumpaw", the first story in the collection, was based upon Seton's experience hunting wolves in the southwestern United States. It became a classic, setting the tone for his future works that would similarly depict animals—especially predators who were often demonized in literature—as compassionate, individualistic beings.

1956 edition, with ilustrations by the author.
