BOOK REVIEW, Continued watched a solid army of ants one foot wide and one mile long make an attack on an enemy. Mr. Buck loves, next to his birds, the little mouse deer unknown to this part of the world. It is a miniature deer, of great beauty and a treat to the eye. It is called the Pelandok and stands one foot high. Its little legs are no larger than a pencil and his cloven hoof no larger than a ten cent piece. It has a beauti- ful soft coat of fawn color and the shy little creature sort of tiptoes about. Because of its daintiness, many native legends and fairy tales are woven about it. In thinking about the Pelandok, I realize how much of nature one never sees nor ever hears about. What a fine thing it is for us all to have men like Frank Buck, who love to go to the far ends of the earth and bring back alive not only the living specimens, but the living knowledge and appreciation of what is in this marvelous world. I wish I could give you more of what thrilled me and captured my interest. Mr. Buck tells his story with such a bright straight-forward, adventurous spirit that one feels almost breathless at the end — feels so much a part of the adventures that he is really glad he is alive to enjoy reading such books as Bring ' Em Back Alive.
