Anecdotes of the Habits and Instinct of Animals
Mrs Robert Lee and Mrs. Robert Lee
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Stories about unusual interactions between animals and humans that reflect some attitudes to the wild in the mid-eighteen hundreds, including trophy hunting.
"Chronically ill and often in pain," the author, Mary Custis Lee, experienced "hardship with sturdy and radiant faith." Maybe that's why she did not turn away in this book, from unpleasant and often gory accounts of animal encounters. (Summary by Czandra) (9 hr 30 min)
