“Under the faithful guidance of Mr. Roberts,” the editor of the London Athenæum once wrote, “we have ventured among the wild beasts of land and sea; and we hope to do so many times in the future. It is an education not to be missed by those who have the chance, and the chance is every one’s.” “Hoof and Claw” is another of those books for which Mr. Roberts is so justly famous, a book much like the one referred to in the preceding sentences. In it are told more than a dozen stories of animals. Mr. Roberts writes with an understanding of the nature of the creatures of field and forest that is nothing short of marvelous, an appreciation of the wild life that has seldom if ever found its equal in literature. Among the titles of the tales in his latest collection are “The Bear That Thought He Was a Dog,” “The Trail of the Vanishing Herds,” “The Cabin Door,” “A Basket of Fish,” “The Fisher in the Chutes,” “The Runner of the High Peaks,” and “Up a Tree.”
