關於這本電子書

Originally published in 1936, this classic collection of Canadian yarns harkens to a simpler time, a time when we were closer to the natural world around us. It is a celebration of the pure delight of storytelling, and of the bounty of the land.

Grey Owl was both a hearty outdoorsman and a skilled raconteur, and his stories of life in the bush, so beloved by readers then and now, are the perfect companion for a cold winter night or a lazy summer afternoon. In Tales of an Empty Cabin, he offers an eclectic sampling of campfire stories—some are tall tales, while some are drawn directly from the author’s own day-to-day life. All are characterized by Grey Owl’s unique wit, charm, and passion of nature.

關於作者

Grey Owl (September 18, 1888 - April 13, 1938) was born Archibald Belaney in England and migrated to Canada at the age of eighteen. Belaney adopted an Indian name and lifestyle and lived in the Canadian north as a trapper. In the latter years of his life he became a writer and a conservationist, and his books were wildly popular in Canada and Britain. He died suddenly in 1938, at the age of 50.
