I wonder how many of you read any of Andre Norton's early SF works (in the 50's, 60s). She's known much more fantasy than SF, but she's written some pretty good SF.
She wrote two books about a Native-American who had a telepathic connection with animals. The books were "Beastmaster"* and "Lord of Thunder."
I read those!
A cougar (IIRC?), an eagle and a mustang -- did I like that?! Hmm, let me think... ;D
Couple of ferrets or suchlike beasties.
I remember the film. It wasn't very good...You got that right!
<shudders at the dreadful memory> At least in the current TV series he has some angst over his family's plight, but the book's Hosteen Storm is a much more complex character. I'll read the new additions to the saga, and hope they are as good as the one about the redemption of the Keplians (some of her more recent work is sadly below her former standards, collaborater or no).
She's still alive? Born 1912...
