"Two Little Savages" is a 1910 novel by Ernest Thompson Seton. One of the great classics of nature and youth written by one of America's best remembered nature experts, it tells the story of two boys who build a teepee in the woods and convince their parents to allow them to live alone among nature for a whole month. During that period, they learn how to cook food, make fires and beds, sanitise water, read the stars, hunt, and much, much more. Full of real lessons for real situations, this charming volume is both enjoyable and instructive, and it is ideal for young children with a love of the outdoors. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 – 1946) was an English-born Canadian author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America, established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including "The Birch Bark Roll" and the "Boy Scout Handbook". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
