Natural History

The Kindred of the Wild

by Charles G. D. Roberts

Charles G. D. Roberts grew up on the edge of the Tantramar marshes in New Brunswick, and he and Ernest Thompson Seton are usually credited with inventing the realistic animal story. This collection of 1902 opens with his essay on the animal story, and then follows moose, lynx, owls and eagles through lives that seldom end gently. He was also the eldest of the Confederation poets, and was knighted in 1935.
