Ernest Evan Tompson rodilsya 14 avgusta 1860 goda v Saut-SHilds, gorode na severo-vostoke Velikobritanii. Kogda mal'chiku bylo shest' let, sem'ya pereekhala v Kanadu, gde Ernest, pytayas' izbezhat' kontakta so sklonnym k nasiliyu otcom, chasto uhodil v les. Tam Tompson chasami risoval dikih zhivotnyh. Posle razvoda roditelej budushchij pisatel' izmenil imya i stal Ernestom Setonom-Tompsonom. S 1879 goda Ernest izuchal izobrazitel'noe iskusstvo v Toronto, a zatem v Parizhe. V 1883 godu uvidelo svet ego pervoe literaturnoe proizvedenie pod nazvaniem "ZHizn' lugovogo tetereva". No izvestnym Seton-Tompson stal chut' pozzhe, posle izdaniya sbornikov "Dikie zhivotnye, kak ya ih znayu" i "ZHizn' tekh, na kogo ohotyatsya". S 1925 po 1927 byli opublikovany vosem' tomov "ZHizni dikih zverej". Udivitel'no tochnye i vyrazitel'nye illyustracii k etim knigam Ernest Seton-Tompson risoval sam. Polyubiv prirodu eshche v yunoshestve, Ernest na protyazhenii vsej zhizni ne stremilsya k gorodskoj zhizni. Okolo soroka knig, kotorye on napisal, v osnovnom posvyashcheny zhizni dikih zverej.

Novym vitkom razvitiya vzaimootnoshenij Ernesta s prirodoj stalo znakomstvo s osnovatelem dvizheniya boj-skautov lordom Baden-Pauellom.
