This Book is written in "small boy fashion," that is, the stories have not been told in any particular order, for children like to go from one thing to another, from Tiger to Whale, from Moose to Squirrel.

Every boy aspires to own a gun, and a good many dream of big game hunting, but unfortunately few realize their ambitions. To those who are not lucky enough to be able to follow the trail, this book may prove to be of some comfort, for the pages endeavour to bring the forest-folk to the fireside.

The greater part of these stories were originally told to two small boys, affectionately known as "GEG" and "CUB," who before they were twelve years of age were both good shots and had seen considerable real hunting.
