Greatheartan Alsatian puppywas born in a kennel close to the Mendip Hills in Somerset.When about to be soldhe ran off and took up life in the wild.During a very bad winter which brought famine into the lives of many wild creaturesGreatheart became their championand by doing so was made an animal with a price on his head.Trekking into Devonfollowing the trail of two ottersGreatheart meets with misfortune.Being homeless he finally succumbs to the charm of Lionel Radmorea Devon farmerand a great affection springs up between the two.When finally Lionel goes away on military servicethe dog sets off in search of himbecomes adopted by the Army and is trained as a guard dog.No more moving scene can be found in the annals of animal fiction that that where Greatheart finds his beloved master buried under the debris of a demolished barracks. Undoubtedly a stirring story for readers of all ages written in striking proseand ably illustrated by C. Gifford Ambler who has so convincingly caught the sensitive mood of this fine animal story. Joseph Eugene Chipperfield 1912-1976 was a writer and worked as an editor and script writer of documentaries. He was brought up on a farm where he developed his love of countryside and animalsboth of which feature in all his books. He travelled around Europe making notes on wildlife and researched many of the locations of his books first hand.His novel Storm of Dancerwood is based on his experiences travelling the west country with his Alsation Max. As well as his horse stories he wrote many books about dogs which are probably considered his best worksalso other animalsusually in the wildsuch as eaglesfoxes and stags. His pony books were all about wild horses set in America. Christopher Gifford Amblerborn 1886worked as Christopher Ambler.Animal painter and illustrator.He drew in pen and ink pencil or brushoften with halftone washesin a boldcheerfully sketchy style.Recorded as having briefly illustrated the boys' paper Nelson Leein 1929.

18355480Edinburgh:: WH Lizars 1835. First edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored steel engraving with bright original hand-coloring. 6.75 x 4.25 inches 10.8 x 17.15 cm. This engraving is classified as one of the finest natural history miniatures produced during the mid-nineteenth century. A refined and intelligent work The Naturalist's Library was created for everyone with an interest in the natural world. Sir William Jardine 1800-1847 noted Scottish Ichthyologist and Ornithologist combined the talents of his colleagues; Edward Lear Prideaux John Selby William Swainson to contribute to The Naturalist's Library. The intention of the series was to create a fine yet affordable work describing and illustrating all elements of the natural world save botany. In addition several plates were engraved after noted artists: John James Audubon John Gould and Maria Sibylla Merian. The success of the publication was apparent by the production of forty subsequent volumes. The engraver of the work was William H. Lizars who at the time produced the first ten plates of John James Audubon's magnum opus the Double Elephant Folio Edition of The Birds of America. For The Naturalist's Library Lizars engraved the miniature plates in steel opposed to copper to render meticulously detailed settings for each described species. Traditionally only the major subject either bird animal insect or fish was individually painted with watercolor the background remained uncolored. This work has withstood the test of time and continues to be a fine and affordable option to the lavish engraved work of many natural history masters. WH Lizars, unknown
