The author of The Wolf King Robbery.

Sidon (1860- 1946) was born in England and came to Canada with his family at the age of 6. He has loved nature since he was a child, and has carefully observed and studied all the animals and birds in nature. He is a naturalist, social activist, explorer and writer, and he especially appreciates Indian political organizations.

His Wild Animals I Know was published in 1898, which was a great success. This book made him financially independent and won him the friendship of American President theodore roosevelt. It is said that Kipling's Book of the Mang Forest was also inspired by this book.

Just as traditional tragedies describe important events of important people, the hero of Sidon's animal stories is also a "gifted individual", because such tragic victims can arouse readers' sympathy more. This extraordinary individual is often a natural leader, with outstanding physique and intelligence, and is the most suitable hero to represent the tragic fate. Sidon's animal stories emphasize authenticity, the protagonists are all based on real animals, and the details come from his rich wild life, which creates a new literary genre: realistic animal novels, and Sidon has won the reputation of "the father of animal novels".

E.T. Seton (1860-1946) may be a writer destined to write biographies for animals. We have probably only heard that people have biographies, but we have never heard that animals can have biographies. But Sidon really did it, and it was wonderful. Later generations called him "the father of animal literature". The name Sidon doesn't mean much to us, but if it is put in Scotland, it is a famous surname. It comes from a famous Scottish family. The name of "Sidon" can be traced back to 1 1 century, and the most prominent ancestor is Charlemagne (742-8 14). The history of this family can be traced back to the seventh century. E.T. Sidon's great-grandfather was a Scottish Earl and a famous Russian shepherd hero. His ancestors fought for the tyrant and later had to leave Scotland. We mentioned Otel earlier because Scott, the ancestor of writing historical novels, was determined to be a historical novelist since he was a child. What influence will this prominent Sidon ancestor have on Little Sidon?

Sidon's father is the owner of a shipyard in London. He has ten children, and little Sidon ranks eighth. Due to business failure, old Sidon had to leave England with his family and emigrate to a farm near Toronto, Canada. Little Sidon was only six years old that year. Old Sidon was a bad farmer, but farm life brought little Sidon a childhood of infinite reverie.

It was a pioneering era, and wherever people went, they were naturally still in a semi-open stage. Little Sidon is obsessed with enjoying semi-primitive nature. He built a Little Tree House in the forest and spent a long time alone observing, painting and daydreaming in nature. Little Sidon is not good at interacting with people. He often forgetfully blends into the surrounding natural environment and naturally makes friends with animals. For this teenager, life in the natural world is more real and meaningful than life in the town.

Sidon's talent in painting and persistent love for animals enabled him to get expert guidance and support in his pursuit of art, study and career, and soon became famous in the fields of painting and animal science. He knew all about animal habits and animal anatomy, so he was hired by a famous American publishing house at a young age to draw thousands of animal pictures for the World Encyclopedia of Nature. This not only gave him a good income, but also gave him the opportunity to travel around Canada and the United States, observe the ecology of various wild animals and collect stories about them.

Sidon writes animal stories not with curiosity, but with the rigorous attitude of a biographer and a strong sense of historical mission. In the preface of one of his stories "Wild Animals I Know", he wrote: "These stories are all true. Although I don't strictly follow the authenticity of historical clues in many places, all the animals mentioned in this book are true. They used to live as I described them, showing distinct personality and strong heroism, although they were so pale in my powerless pen. "
