PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
by Roger Duvoisin (Illustrator)
As anti-gun and pro-vegetarian as you can get, The Happy Hunter is a beautiful, heart-felt story about communing with animals.
One fine day, Mr. Bobbin dons his hunting outfit and heads into the forest. Fully equipped and ready, he's forgotten one thing--that he's a hunter, as well as a vegetarian, who cannot hunt because of his great love of animals. Curiously, this is a true story. When first published in 1961, the real happy hunter had been "hunting" for 25 years.
