BATTEN, H.Mortimer - Whispers of the Wilderness: Tales of wild life in Canadian forests-(HC in Wrap)

(NO MORE THAN 5 BOOKS PER ORDER OR PARCEL ALLOWED) - Book has clean green boards and is in a very good condition - Wrapper shows wear - 1960 - 176 pg - I see it is listed overseas as a Collectable Children's Book.  >>>   Twelve stories about wildlife in the Canadian Woods where the author lived for many years, which make the forests of British Columbia come to life in all their variety of incident & mood.   >>>   I haven't read this since I was 12 or so, but it absorbed me absolutely. I guess I felt even then that animals are not all that different from us, that they are not just 'running on instinct' but have similar degrees of consciousness--maternal instincts, envy, jealousy, the whole wacky works.      * Animals *
