The Wolves of Currumpaw

William Grill re-tells Seton's dramatic and moving story, 'Lobo, The King of Currumpaw' the true-to-life tale of his hunt, alongside his distinctive, stunning and detailed illustrations in The Wolves of Currumpaw. This, Grill's second non-fiction picture book for Flying Eye Books, is set in the dying days of the old west, across the vast plains of New Mexico, at a time when man's relationship with nature was very much exploited and misunderstood. The hunt of Lobo and his pack touched Seton so profoundly that he dedicated the rest of his life to conservation and worked tirelessly to spread this message to the youth of America and championing the wolf right up to his death in 1946. His efforts are evident through lobbying for wildlife protection, hunting laws and founding The Woodcraft League and The Boy Scouts of America.
