About the author
Born in Douglas, New Brunswick, on January 10, 1860, Sir Charles G. D. Roberts grew up with a deep connection to the natural world that would stay at the center of his writing. He studied at the University of New Brunswick and published poetry early, soon emerging as an important voice in Canadian letters.
Roberts is often linked with the Confederation Poets, a group that helped define Canadian poetry in the late 19th century. Along with verse, he wrote novels, history, criticism, and well-known animal stories, becoming one of the first Canadian authors to build a strong international reputation.
Over a long career, he remained a remarkably versatile writer, and his work influenced later generations of Canadian authors. He died in Toronto on November 26, 1943, but his reputation as a foundational figure in Canadian literature has endured.
