Tommy Smith was cruel to animals. Finally, the wise old owl called a meeting of the animals, and it was decided that the best way to help Tommy was to teach him about animals. Tommy meets with frogs, hares, snakes, owls and others, and by the end of the book, has become friends with them and decides to protect animals at all times. A fine book for children of all ages -- and adults, too!

Tommy Smith's Animals was first published in 1899, and was so popular, reprinted at least twelve times.

This edition of the book contains the original eight illustrations, rejuvenated, and two additional illustrations unique to this edition.

Edmund Selous (1857 – 25 March 1934) was a British ornithologist and writer. He was the younger brother of big-game hunter Frederick Selous. Born in London, the son of a wealthy stockbroker, Selous was educated privately and matriculated at Pembroke College, Cambridge in September 1877. He left without a degree and was admitted to the Middle Temple just over a year later and was called to the bar in 1881. He practised as a barrister only briefly before retiring to pursue the study of natural history and literature. He married in 1886 and moved to Wiesbaden, Germany with his family in 1888 and then to Mildenhall in Suffolk in 1889. In the 1920s, he moved to the Weymouth village Wyke Regis in Dorset, where he lived in the folly Wyke Castle with his wife.

Selous published a variety of books on natural history, especially birds, ranging from children's books to more serious ornithological works. He travelled to southern Africa and India in his youth and later to the Shetlands, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Iceland to observe birds there. He had a particular interest in bird behaviour, sexual selection and the problem of the coordinated flight manoeuvres of flocking birds, which he sought to explain through the idea of thought-transference. He continued bird-watching and writing until near the end of his life.
