A little about the story
Camping by a lake in the Canadian wilderness, the Boy and the woodsman Jabe Smith hear a crash in the night. It is the start of a long, patient study of the beavers who build their dams and lodges in the stream, and of the otters, bears, lynxes and other creatures who share their world.
Charles G. D. Roberts, Canada's great nature writer, tells these animal stories with close observation and real drama.
