A Paris, chez Mornay / Coll. ''Les Beaux livres'', 1925. Un fort vol. au format pt in-8 (208 x 153 mm) de 227 pp., broché, sous couverture à rabats rempliés. Tirage unique à 1.000 exemplaires. Celui-ci, un des 960 du tirage numéroté sur Rives. Il s'agrémente - ici en premier tirage - de jolis bois gravés en plusieurs tons par Henri Barthélémy. Lequel ''a exposé aux Salons d'Automnes et a illustré plusieurs livres''. (in Bénézit, citant la présente contribution de l'artiste). ''Le recueil - couronné par le Goncourt - comporte huit nouvelles pour autant de petits drames où l?on découvre les m?urs des animaux de la forêt. Au travers de cet ouvrage, Pergaud témoigne là de ses talents d?écrivain animalier ; lesquels furent d'ailleurs reconnus à leur juste valeur à parution. Ces récits poignants ont tout des contes tragiques et offrent une évocation réaliste de la vie animale, quoique parfois d?une grande dureté aussi. En naturaliste convaincu, Pergaud est parvenu à retranscrire le comportement des animaux dans leur milieu naturel. Aucun anthropomorphisme chez les bêtes qu?il met en scène. Les attitudes sont décrites avec une précision à l?évidence riche des expériences vécues par l?auteur.'' Dos et marge des plats brunis. Petit manque en tête du dos. Du reste, bonne condition.
