An exciting adventure tale of two boys and their struggle for survival in the deep dark woods of Canada at the turn of the 20th Century. Richly evocative and beautifully illustrated by the author himself, this tale is as enthralling and engaging as when it was written long ago.
Arthur Henry Howard Heming (1870-1940) was a Canadian painter and novelist known as the "chronicler of the North" for his paintings, sketches, essays and books about Canada's North. Born in Paris, Ontario and raised in Hamilton, he studied in New York and London under artists Frank Vincent DuMond and Frank Brangwyn. He was colour blind and as a result worked mostly in black and white. He was the author of The Drama of the Forests (1921), Spirit Lake (1923) and The Living Forest (1925).
