About the author
Born in Douglas, New Brunswick, on January 10, 1860, Sir Charles G. D. Roberts grew into one of the central figures of early Canadian literature. He studied at the University of New Brunswick and emerged as a leading member of the group later known as the Confederation Poets, writers who helped give Canadian poetry a distinct national character.
Roberts wrote across several forms, including poetry, novels, short fiction, history, and essays, but he is especially remembered for two strands of work: his verse and his animal stories. Books such as Orion and Other Poems helped establish his reputation, while his wilderness tales brought drama and close observation of nature to a wide audience.
Over the course of his long career, he became one of the first Canadian authors to be widely known outside Canada and was later knighted for his achievements. He died in Toronto on November 26, 1943, leaving behind a body of work that played a major role in the growth of Canadian writing.
