HELENE LACELLE's illustration of the crying oxen creates a totally
modern 'look' to the hundred year old animal stories of GD ROBERTS, a NB
born and raised writer who 'created' the animal story wherein he
treates so called 'wild beasts' as humans i.e. they think and feel and
react as we human animals do - along with E.T. SETON he was the first in
the world to do so and as a result became world famous for these
stories - his first collection of anmal stories sold 80,000 copies in
N.A. which considering it was about 100 years ago this was fantastic.
