In the modern school of writers who treat animals with peculiar 
sympathy and insight, there is none who has come more quickly 
to the front than Miss Agnes Herbert : her wide practical ac- 
quaintance with the haunts of big game all over the world has 
shown her the shy creatures of the plain or jungle as they really 
are. Her book on the lion drew the attention and admiration- of 
big-game sportsmen, but we venture to think that in the life of 
the moose she has surpassed herself. This enormous creature, 
living in the wildest parts of Alaska and Canada, has never failed 
to evoke interest and enthusiasm in those who have had the luck 
to come across him. Here we have him shown with remarkable 
tenderness and insight in the thick forests and glades of his home- 
land. Not only is the moose himself, who necessarily occupies 
the forefront of the picture, drawn for us so vividly that we feel 
him to be palpitating with life, but all the hundreds of lesser 
creatures peopling the woods and wilds make a background full of 
animation. The book is one which no lover of the wild should 
miss.
