Summary

"Tommy Smith's Animals" by Edmund Selous is a captivating tale from the late 1800s about a young boy named Tommy Smith, whose thoughtless cruelty to animals takes an unexpected turn when he meets creatures who can talk. Tired of his mistreatment, the animals, guided by a wise owl, decide to show Tommy the error of his ways, opening his eyes to their unique abilities and the importance of treating all life with kindness. As Tommy meets a variety of animals, like a hare, a frog and a snake, each encounter teaches him a lesson about empathy, transforming him from a tormentor into a protector and revealing the profound connection between humans and the natural world.

About the Author

He practised as a barrister only briefly before retiring to pursue the study of natural history and literature.
