Ernest Thompson Seton's Wild Animals I Have Known, published in 1898, was a transformative collection that not only dramatically shifted the perspective of writers and readers alike, but also changed Seton himself. Through the fateful encounter with thewolf Lobo, Seton became a dedicated wildlife protector, individualizing animals and exploring their motivations, feelings, and personalities. This publication contributed to the conservationist movement of the twentieth century and established Seton as apivotal naturalist. Experience Seton's transformation with the stories of Lobo and other creatures in his words, and reconnect with the beauty of the wild and the interconnectedness of man and nature--
