Controversial from the first but immensely popular worldwide, Charles G. D. Roberts' animal stories fixed the landscape and wildlife of Canada in a million imaginations. As popular in their day as Kipling's Jungle Book, Roberts' books were far more concerned with precise natural history and with the real experience of wild creatures. A century later, with our sense of the shrinking wilderness, these stores have a fresh, unsentimental and elegaic impact. Introduced by Seán Virgo, this edition brings back into print the best work by Canada's first and greatest storytelling naturalist.
