Ernest Thompson Seton

A deeply moving and tragic drama from the father of animal fiction writing! The 19th century America, it was the pioneering era where a wave of change in civilization struck and animals were overhunted. Seton, a hunter and an artist who is researching animal ecology befalls a request to exterminate a pack of wolf. The wolves are relentless by all means and do not yield to the hands of man, but for Seton this encounter would mark a great turning point in his life. Within the 55 compilations in “Seton’s Wild Animals,” the masterpiece “King of Wolves” and two other compilations have been transformed into comics!

Seton is the story of Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946), a famous American writer and naturalist.

(from ebookjapan): This is a rare and valuable compilation of picture books published as "Shotaro Ishimori's Masterpiece Picture Tales" series volume 1-6 (published by Hikari no Kuni): "Treasure Island", "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "The Little Match Girl", "The Three Musketeers", "Lobo, the King of Currumpaw", and "The War of the Worlds". The stories are all written in hiragana for young children, but the bold and lively spreads, typical of Shotaro Ishinomori, are a masterpiece! The end of the book contains the unfinished manuscript of "The Little Mermaid," the seventh book in the series!
