The tale “Two Little Savages” by the Canadian writer Ernest Thompson Seton is an exciting book about the enigmatic world of animals and birds.

“Oh, the magic of the campfire! No unkind feeling long withstands its glow. For men to meet at the same campfire is to come closer, to have better understanding of each other, and to lay the foundations of lasting friendship”.

Ernest Thompson Seton, Two Little Savages

Staff Pick of the Week

Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1846) was a prolific Canadian-American author and wildlife artist, who was also one of the founding pioneers of the Boy Scouts of America. Woodland Tales is a reflection of his interests in the natural world, consisting of short stories about animals and the seasons. He split the book up into parts that he labeled as “Things to see in Springtime” or “Things to see in Wintertime,” with matching short stories. Throughout the book you can find many of his illustrations.

I was shelving something else when I found this book on accident, and I’m glad I opened it. The illustrations and stories vary between feeling like it’s something out of a fairy tale to something more scientific, such as a field guide. As a nature-lover myself, this book was a great find!

This particular edition is the 1922 printing of the book, originally published in 1921 by Doubleday, Page & Company In Garden City, N.Y. Another interesting thing about the book is the curious details I learned about Doubleday when researching it. For instance, during the relocation of the firm to Garden City in 1910, some of their operations were done out of a train station! The founder Frank Nelson Doubleday either ghost wrote or edited John D. Rockefeller’s autobiography, and he was also friends with Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. Another interesting thing to note is that one of the company’s partners, Walter Hines Page, was also the ambassador to Great Britain during World War I. The Doubleday company and later its then president and CEO Nelson Doubleday, Jr., the grandson of the founder, owned the New York Mets baseball team from 1980-2002. What quirky little things to learn!

Beginning in the late 1980s, Doubleday began a series of mergers, becoming a  a division of Random House in 1998 and merging with Knopf Publishing Group in 2009, which today is part of Penguin Random House. I ended up learning more about the publisher than about the author or title, but that’s the rabbit hole one goes down sometimes when selecting a staff pick!

From the very childhood we've loved stories by Ernest Thompson Seton, though now it's too heartbreaking to read them. A little tribute to these very important books

A Little Free Library Find from the one in front of my house- The Biography of a Grizzly by Ernest Thompson Seton, printed in 1927.

― Ernest Thompson Seton, Lobo, Rag and Vixen Being The Personal Histories Of Lobo, Redruff, Raggylug & Vixen A bit of a redo from this but wanted a version with the quote on the image. Click picture to view text, but if you still have trouble reading the text:

“A lion shorn of his strength, an eagle robbed of his freedom, or a dove bereft of his mate, all die, it is said, of a broken heart; and who will aver that this grim bandit could bear the threefold brunt, heart-whole?" (Maybe I'm reading into it too much but I see a resemblance towards his tragic story and Lobo's :()

King of the Grizzlies (1970)

Biography Of A Grizzly by Ernest Thompson Seton (1918)

[dwolfram]

"[...] he had mountains and a good river below his house; he could live among rugged, non-political people and visit, when he chose to, with a few of his famous friends who still came up to Sun Valley. He could sit in the Tram or the Alpine or the Sawtooth Club and talk with men who felt the same way he did about life, even if they were not so articulate. In this congenial atmosphere he felt he could get away from the pressures of a world gone mad, and "write truly" about life as he had in the past."

Writing Advice From Various Authors!

Writing fiction isn’t easy but it can be fun and rewarding once you get the hang of it. It’s helpful to look at the advice of popular authors to find your groove. Here are various writers and their advice on writing:

Ernest Hemingway

“Write drunk and edit sober?” I never said that. Do both drunk, wimp.

William S. Burroughs

Just goddamn write and don't damn censor yourself or you should be hanged like a twink what's set aflame as he’s hanged on rope made of the lies and deceits of the city, the cursed city, the lugubrious city.

Yukio Mishima

You cannot capture beauty in words. Instead, die very painfully on someone's office floor, in that alone there is beauty.

Stephen King

Write six pages a day and don’t cut anything, even if everyone says “Stephen, for the love of god don’t write that, the rest of the novel is great but please don’t include that, what are you thinking?”

Cormac McCarthy

do whatever you want dont even use punctuation then people will think youre brilliant for some reason for each writer is the writer of all writers who suffers the sins of all men

J.K. Rowling

It’s critical to teach tolerance, understanding, and compassion in your books. Then and only then will people believe you when you tell them to hate and harm the people you tell them to.

E.L. James

Put your pen to paper so hard it can poke past that thin membrane page and plunge hard into your imagination. Write with strokes gentle and firm that make the reader soaked in their own gratification and struggle to close the book back up again, so hard did they break its spine in the throws of their perusal.

Hunter S. Thompson

The hell are you asking son don’t you dare YOU GET OFF MY PROPERTY! I invited you? Maybe but it won’t make you less dead THIS IS THE TIME WHEN THE WORD IS MADE FLESH! Republican meat needs no salt.

Ari Bach

💓My Bully OC, meet Ruth Beauté!💓

School Titles:

“Class Representative” , “Fields Angel”, “Sheriffs Daughter”

Clubs:

Soccer, Mock trial (I know Bully game doesn’t have it, it’s my oc lemme alone.)

Cliques Relationships:

Jocks(10%): Lowkey, even though she is on the soccer team and she’s the best player —along side her friend Jason, both being called “The Field’s Angels”, she does not fw with the jocks at all. She views the jocks— mainly the football players as toxic masculinity, smelly abusers, especially Damon, and Ted Thompson and Casey. This goes for the same with Juri and Luis. She knows how Mandy acts towards others and it mentally disgusts her, and the fact Mandy messed with her friends feelings. Chrissy Martin and Pinky are the only cheerleaders she likes or can see as decent to be around.

Greasers(78%): Ruth may biologically came from a wealthy family, but she was never a stuck up spoiled girl growing up, Even after her illegal departure and emancipation, she never really valued money, even before. She likes hanging out with Vance, they got the same music tastes, and is liked due to her tutoring and sharing the same interests with the greasers. Almost at the end of the year she finally got properly adopted, by Miss Rodriguez, a (cop/sheriff) she told them and made sure to never snitch on them when they commit a crime. She gives pity to Johnny for how Lola treat him, so Lowkey she doesn’t have hardcore respect for him or Lola.

Preps(90%): Ruth gained respect towards many all of preps because of fashion sense, and work etiquette. She relates to Tad, and generally talks to him, Gord and Chad had crushes on her but Parker ends up dating her at the end of her violin solo when she was found her upset outside. (Ooooo lore) She can’t stand Derby because he one time paid the teacher in Mock trial to make sure he won on his side. When she first met them, she was a little disgusted. By the fact they were inbred. Some of the preps began to notice she’d wear real pearls and looked decent for a so called “middle class lady”. Derby mock her southern accent, she technically gets along with everyone except for him.

Bullies(50%): As much as she hates bullying she tolerates Tom and Trent along with Ethan. Her and Ethan do get into a few scuffles, but they act like siblings. Endgame you will see her pulling on Ethan’s ear and yelling at him, Having minor interactions with each other. In the middle of the year, she met Tom bumping into him and she felt attracted to him, but that attraction solely died when her friend randomly said that she liked him and she immediately canceled out her feelings for him. But —it didn’t work out between them and sooner at the end of the year, they ended up dating one another. She doesn’t like Russell very much. She sees him as illiterate due to her being very judgmental, Troy’s voice annoys her and seems him as mentally slow , just like Russell.

Nerds(89%): Ruth first meets Algie whimpering and crying about the jocks messing with him, she decided to help him during Halloween party. She dressed up as Billy from Ghostface and lured in/seduced Casey into the woods, leaving him there, she hid herself by dressing up as the actual Ghostface, holding a axe and showing Casey Algie’s fake dead body in the woods, making Casey scared and falling into a deep ditch, only for Algie to get up and Ruth taking off her mask to reveal the joke, and they walk off back to the party. She can tolerate the rest of the nerds probably because she sympathizes with them, but the only nerd she does not like is Ernest. She sees him as a pervert, a weirdo, and he doesn’t really like her either because of her cold mean wannabe Blair Waldorf attitude, and sees her as an academic rival.

Clothing-

School Uniform:

She wears a rosary that’s secretly a pocketknife/dagger, if taking off the silver half, which is at the bottom of the cross, the rosary was gifted from the past love innterest when she was in an a girls Catholic school. Short skirts and nails are in, but she is very old-fashioned and decides to let her nails grow naturally long and her uniform skirt reaches down to her upper ankles, but to keep it young so she doesn’t seem too much of a prude, she has a mid slip on the side of her skirt, her nail colors are usually in the color of burgundy, dark magenta, or Mulberry. She wears black kitten heels to make herself seem more mature and elegant, wears a silver rose ring on her right hand middle finger, non-manufactured real pearl studs, a blue or white headband to keep her micro braids out of her face. When looking at her ankles, you will see a pearl anklet.

Winter attire:

Mentality:
