Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brothers of Pity: And Other Tales of Beasts and Men These tales have appeared, during some years past, in Aunt Judy´s Magazine for Young People. "Father Hedgehog and his Neighbours," and "Toots and Boots," were both suggested by Fedor Flinzer´s clever pictures; but "Toots" was also "a real person." In his latter days he was an honorary member of the Royal Engineers´ Mess at Aldershot, and, on occasion, dined at table. "The Hens of Hencastle" is not mine. It is a free translation from the German of Victor Blüthgen, by Major Yeatman-Biggs, R. A., to whom I am indebted for permission to include it in my volume, as a necessary prelude to "Flaps." The story took my fancy greatly, but the ending seemed to me imperfect and unsatisfactory, especially in reference to so charming a character as the old watch dog, and I wrote "Flaps" as a sequel. The frontispiece was designed specially for this volume, by Mr. Charles Whymper, and the Fratello della Misericordia (from a photograph kindly sent me by a friend) is by the same artist.
