1898009664E.P. Dutton ; Ernest Nister New York London 1898 1898. Hardcover. Good. 48 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm OCLC 18756635 ; illustrated boards ; wear on edges ; "Tattine" by Ruth Ogden is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Tattine who grapples with the complexities of growing up love for animals and the realization that nature can be cruel. With her keen observation Tattine navigates her experiences with her pets particularly two setter dogs and finds herself in morally challenging situations concerning the natural behaviors of animals and the impact they have on her sensitive heart. The narrative follows Tattine through a series of adventures and encounters reflecting her innocent yet profound understanding of the world. After witnessing her dogs' natural hunting instincts which lead them to capture a rabbit Tattine struggles with her feelings of love for her pets and her sorrow for the harmed creatures. Throughout the book she also engages with friends goes on imaginative excursions and has heartwarming interactions with family. As Tattine learns about the inherent behaviors of different animals she begins to understand the concept of nature versus nurture leading to thoughtful reflections on compassion responsibility and the idea that while certain behaviors are instinctual love can guide our actions towards kindness. Overall "Tattine" presents a beautiful coming-of-age tale filled with heartfelt lessons that resonate with both children and adults. ; Contents: Chapter I Trouble No. 1 -- Chapter Ii.
