Review - Two Little Savages

I re-read it in 2011, quite slowly this time and, for the first time, saw the charm in it for Dad. Seton mixes an exciting story with lessons on Indian crafts and wildlife and keeps things moving. If I'd read it as a boy, I'm sure it would have inspired me as it did Dad.
