Author Description

Excerpt from The Red Book of Animal Stories Miss Blackley also did some of the stories. Most of the tales of 'thieving Dogs and Horses' were published, about 1819, by Sir Walter Scott, in Blackwood's Magazine, ' from which they are taken by Mrs. Lang. I have tried to make it clear that this is not altogether a scientific book but a great deal of it is more to be depended on than A Bad Boy's Book of Beasts, ' or Miss Sy'bil Corbet's books, 'animal Land, ' and 'sybil's Garden of Pleasant Beasts.'
