Beautiful Joe

A horse narrates his own life, from an easy meadow to the London cab ranks. Written to change how people treated working animals, and it did.

Anna Sewell

Buck is stolen from a California ranch and sold into a Yukon sled team, where the rules are older and simpler. Short, fast and often a reader's first serious novel.

Jack London

Mowgli raised by wolves, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi against the cobras, and the white seal looking for a safe beach. All the original stories in a clean modern typeset edition.

Rudyard Kipling

Mole, Rat and Badger keep trying to save Toad from his own enthusiasms. A riverbank novel that alternates comedy with some of the quietest chapters in children's fiction.

Kenneth Grahame

The bear of very little brain, the honey, the heffalump trap and the flood. Milne's original 1926 chapters, illustrated, exactly as they first appeared.

A. A. Milne
