Back colophon summarizes the contents of this book: "Here endeth 'Pig-Pen Pete,' and various other ventures in nature-faking, all as truthfully done in love for his dumb brothers, by Fra Elbertus, except as otherwise indicated." A love letter to animals and a collection of short stories about them. _Pig-Pen Pete_ is both a full embrace of and playful satire on the "nature faker" genre of literature, which was derided by some for its anthropomorphic and sentimental depictions of nature. Author Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) was the founder of the Roycroft community of artists and craft workers in East Aurora, New York. His wife, Alice Hubbard (1861-1915), wrote one of the stories in this book, "Garnett and the Brindled Cow." Collected and collated by John T. Hoyle. Printed by A. V. Ingham. This book is also a fine example of the Roycrofters' artistry, craftsmanship, and artistic output. The Roycrofters specialized in a number of artistic disciplines while promoting the Arts and Crafts movement. Some of the disciplines represented by the Roycroft community were printing, bookbinding, metalworking, leathercraft, and furniture design. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00662
